Y...John, I owe much of my love for Brunello to you!<br />You are a mentor of sorts; I'm not embarrassed to say that, and thank you. So often you have shown a human face to the subject of wine, and I suppose that's why your interviews are so stellar. Not only that, but your knowledge is deep as well. <br />Strange how important it is to so many wine people that they have to be above it all, confident, worried about spelling, worried about being left behind, about the realization that we can know so very little about such a big subject as wine.<br />I've never pretended to be an expert (Said it many-a-time), but I'm sure having fun at my new hobby. Again, it's like bird-watching: you need to get out, or put-up those bird feeders and get a pair of binoculars and a bird guide, but with wine, all you need is to get your "feet wet" and begin with the first bottle, look at the color, get a good smell, and begin the tasting! Always helps to have an honest guide.<br />Cheers my friend.New Hampshire Winemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111304557830665931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402117742947814196.post-57117606811575496312013-01-07T11:39:58.914-05:002013-01-07T11:39:58.914-05:00Still, at about $40 for this quality of a Brunello...Still, at about $40 for this quality of a Brunello is a steal. It's been years since I've been able to say that. The last few vintages have been great - and great bargains!TuscanVineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209120978343208652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402117742947814196.post-83994540957529634772013-01-05T16:22:47.605-05:002013-01-05T16:22:47.605-05:00John, I was looking for the Tenuta Nuova, but no l...John, I was looking for the Tenuta Nuova, but no luck just now; if I remember correctly JS gave it something like 97 points, and if I might use an expression from Inglorious bastards: "That's a Bingo!"

That has been on sale around here for as low as $40-$50 and is a unique wine and quite the step up. Good review amico. I concur. And this one is not that expensive. I hate to say...about $30 down here.
