I’ve only been back for a little more than a wee

I’ve only been back for a little more than a week but I already miss the volcano. So when it was time to choose wine for dinner last night, I needed a #nerellomascalese fix. Amusingly when I was in Vittoria before going to Etna I had more than one person tell me that the wines of Etna don’t age well. In fact it was implied that after 4 or 5 years they are i drinkable. Um….. I beg to differ. And as exhibit #1 a stunning single Contrada wine from @passopisciaro_cantina that has at least 6 or 8 more years if not 10, to continue to blossom. Bright, juicy with primary fruit melding with some secondary herbs and spices all suffused with that gorgeous powdered stone minerality that holds me in thrall. 2015 Passopisciaro “Contrada Porcaria” Nerello Mascalese, Sicily.

Looking up at Contrada Santo Spirito, with Guardiola above it, and then past the towards the twin tips of the #etna caldera from the deck at @palmentocostanzoetnawine. A beautiful last look at the mountain and some of its most hallowed terroir before I head back home. #etnadays #etnawine #overtoosoon #nerellomascalese #carricante #volcanicwine #vinography📷

Did you know that there’s this whole “secret” group of high end kosher wines being made in California right now, some of them crafted under the guidance of the state’s most famous and expensive winemaking consultants? Neither did I until recently. So I went and tasted them. Here’s what I thought. Link in bio or just go to Vinography.Com.
