Kicking it off: Nipozzano Reserve 2018, Chianti Rufina. A really nice variation on a classic Chianti, light and fruit forward but with a surprising amount of tannins - pretty heavily oaked, relative to a Chianti Classico anyway, it was no Knights Valley cab. Exceptionally balanced and highly recommended.
One of my local wine shops has a 2020 Bodega Garzon tannat I am really digging these days. Im new to wine tasting so my notes might be a little off, but heavy tannins (which i love), dark fruits and a little herbal. I bought one, drank it, then went back and bought 3 more and tried to find more Uruguayan tannats. So far Bodega Garzon has been my favorite.
Just joining!
For my birthday this week my wife and I cracked a nice champagne - Jean Vesselle Brut Œil de Perdrix (partridges eye). It was great, but it was a few days ago, so no tasting notes.

Very new to wine and as an exercise I’ve stuck to almost exclusively French wines the last 5 months. I love everything Burgundy, and especially Beaujolais.
Tried the Fleurie from Clos de la Roilette last night and it’s amazing! Got it for about $45 CDN. Really intense aromatics and with a delicate body. Can’t wait to explore more.
Beaujolais is my favorite french wine by far! I am new to wine too, but I cant wait for this years beaujolais day!
