“I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?”

2016 Tasca d’Almerita Lamuri Nero d’Avola
Wrapping up my (at home) wine tour of Sicily with a Nero d’Avola and our twist on lasagna. Not bad for a middle of the week evening.
2019 River Road Un-Oaked Chardonnay
I’ve had more luck finding wife-approved Chardonnay since the start of 2020 than in the previous 2 years, and the 2019 River Road Un-Oaked Chardonnay helped continue the trend.
2017 Tasca d’Almerita “Guarnaccio” Perricone Sicilia DOC
I’ve been getting to try grapes that are new to me (or ones that I have rarely tried) more often of late, and if the Perricone is any indication–I need to do it more often.
2018 River Road Reserve Chardonnay
Will this be the oaked Chardonnay that my wife finally loves? No. No it will not. But that doesn’t mean there’s not merit to the wine.
2018 Tasca d’Almerita “Antisa” Catarratto Sicilia DOC
We may not be able to spend time with friends and family right now, but I think i know what food and wine pairing I want once we can.
