Wow, oh my goodness, and damn that was a fine wine were just some of the comments after tasting some new Italian wines this past week!
Chad and I (along with one of our guests) sampled some interesting Italians (Red & White) on Wednesday and we were so impressed we shifted some of our tastings this week to include the 2000 Lodali Barbaresco ($23/bottle) on our samples table (Yes, a 2000 Barbaresco for only $23 will be open for tasting and for purchasing).
So I was a bit concerned at the vintage, the varietal and the bottle price. Barbaresco, Barolo, Amarone and Valpolicella for amazing prices ... how could this be unless the quality was crap.
Now for the tasting ... well, I already noted the Italian are coming so you must have guessed they did ok ... and not only ok, but damn good for the money!
