Shaughn and Ellen strike a power-pose to hold up the man with a plan, the man behind the wine! Gregory Condes the wine importer dugout, joins for more fun wine talk than whines and that is okay.
The hip-sip-tip from Ellen is a Nebbiolo from Mexico. Shaughn hip-sip-tips a holiday coffee specialty from Go Get Em Tiger that is a cross up between toffee nut coffee and cup o' noodles. The hippest, quite possibly.
They take a question from the mailbag as to what a wine aficionado should bring to a party of non-winos that everyone will appreciate. Ellen recommends Ravenswood zin (her go to for everything) and the guest of the day Greg seconds the notion of Zinfandel--it is a wine group hug!
This time the guest brings the wine: a 2014 Dirupi Valtellina Superiore DOCG! AKA a really tasty nebbiolo from Lombardy in Italy. Greg regales Shaughn and Ellen with tales of Faso and Bilba, the guys behind the wine as well as descriptions of the breathtaking beauty of the land.
They all three promise this is not sponsored by Southwest though they all like to fly that way.
Learn more about Italian winemakers, what to pair with Nebbiolo and really...what IS in the glass? You can debate the rose petal v the peppers all you want but if the glasses are from Grandma the wine is gonna be good. The take home message for everyone is get wine from a good source and drink with good company and it is going to be good. Cheers!
