Rare mysty Posted October 23, 2021 #12180 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Last evening Myster and I hosted a wine tasting for a few friends. There were 5 wines from 5 different regions of Italy. Piedmont | Piemonte Tuscany | Toscana Veneto | Vèneto Sardinia | Sardegna Trentino - Alto Adige The crowd favourite was Kellerei Bozen Lagrein 2019. A fine time was had by all! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted October 23, 2021 #12181 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Looks fun, M! Love the wines from Südtirol. More familiar with their white wines, and have had a Pinot Nero from that region, but never a Lagrein. Will have to search for one now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted October 23, 2021 #12182 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Hi folks, JP, this is a bottle of the wine I purchased while on an excursion in the Canary Islands. The Winery is called El Grifo and the wine is CANARI. Can't seem to get the photo correctly so I am posting the link. https://elgrifo.com/tienda/gb/dulces-antiguos/88-malvasia-canari-50-cl.html You can see the description of how aged the grapes are for this wine........ It also says it is "sweet" but in my opinion, it is not.....it is probably the most perfect sip of wine I have ever tasted. It is definitely a sipping wine only. Even the Sommelier said, "This is not wine to drink with a meal" LOL......but for after your meal.🙂 Mysty, your table looks lovely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted October 23, 2021 #12183 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Thanks for the link, @Lois R. That's definitely an after-dinner sipper, I agree. Have had that grape before but never in a sweet version. I also like that your bottle is a mixture of old and new vintages. By classification / definition it's definitely a sweet wine - as it's 9% residual sugar (90g/L=9%). Cut points vary but dry wines are around 1.5% or less; semi-dry in the range of 2-4%, and sweet wines start around 5% and go up from there. The residual sugar content is not the only thing that determines whether a wine tastes sweet on your palate, though. It may not taste super sweet if the alcohol content (17%, kind of high) and the acidity are there to balance out the sweet flavor. But what is most important, is that you enjoy it! So sip away and may it bring you pleasant memories of your trip. I personally like a nip of sweet wine on occasion but after a bit they can get too cloying, unless they are superbly balanced. Waiting for my Coravin to come so that I can try a glass of the 1997 Chateau d'Yquem that's been in our wine cellar since 2014... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have expensive bakers around my neck of the woods, but I would take great pride in being able to produce baguettes like that. Any chance of a recipe/set of instructions/insider tips? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
