Its someone else’s … officially
The usual Bad Boys are present
And thats a good thing.
95% Gargenega and 5% Trebbiano di Soave. Often small amounts of Chardonnay or Pinot Bianco massage the flavours.
Big Names. Bolla (owned by the largest wine producer in Italy) has been producing wines since 1883. Banfi is a massive distribution partner. Soave means “soft” in Italian. And it’s said that Frank Sinatra wouldn’t sit in a restaurant that didn’t have Soave Bolla on the menu. Soava represents both the region (North Eastern Italy) and the style of wine.
It’s not often that one finds a wine that will stand up to being on it’s own, served with lighter fare like grilled seafood, chicken, fish-based pastas and entrée salads, or as an appertif. This one works with whatever/however you serve it.
Notes of melon, pear and ripe apple abound, followed by a long and lingering finish.
Great Value and a really nice wine for all seasons.

Confused after high expectations
The region produces wonderful Malbecs. 85 year old vines usually produce great wines. Unfortunately, this one is neither wonderful nor great. There isn’t a lot of complexity and there isn’t any bounce to the step. There is medium body, tight tannins and a ripeness to the finish.
It’s still quite enjoyable, but we don’t feel the price is justified.
We’ve had nicer wines from the region at a more reasonable price. Maybe it needs more time in the bottle, or possibly it needs something carnavore-ish to be served with it to distract.

Well Done. True Terroir.
It’s an update since Kitchen Confidential. He hasn’t cleaned up his language, and the drawn knives are as sharp as ever. It’s a food fight that has broken out where he takes on the whole food industry … and even chucks rocks at himself. Bourdain talks the same way he writes. He appreciated food , and what it represents to different people and cultures.
He writes frankly about his own successes and failures, both as a chef and an author.
Rereading the book brought back many memories of his TV shows, and highlights the ups and downs of his life. He made sense with his cries in the wilderness.

Sometimes
One solved mystery
A simple, unobtrusive label doesn’t prepare you for what’s inside. I probably would have passed it by, but our Goddess of Wine made sure it was in the mystery case so we wouldn’t miss out on a real treat.
Wood aging brings out the beautifully structured blend of Malbec and Merlot. Rich tannins, almost dark chocolate texture.
It’s Bold and Structured.
We teamed it with cranberry, basil, fresh chicken sausages and it was a great pairing.
