I don't drink Nero d'Avola often enough. Every time I do, I am reminded of the beauty, grace, and fruitfulness of this incredible wine. So enjoyable, if you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and find some to drink. It is a serious pleaser with great QPR! 2016 @gulficantina Sicilia Nerosanlorè.

3 great wines last night. First up was a 2013 @tablascreek Esprit de Tablas Blanc, followed by 2014 @faillawines Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard, then finishing with the 2005 @chateau_barde_haut Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. This Barde-Haut definitely benefitted from decanting through a fine mesh filter.
