Barbaresco for 99 cent a bottle ...
Hello, I was wondering if anyone else saw this ... I was at Grocery Outlet in Redwood City (CA) over the weekend, and they were selling a wine called LUIGI CALISSANO BARBARESCO 1991, for 99 cents a 750 ml bottle. So I figured what the heck, and bought a case. I thought it was kind of interesting for a 16 year old wine. The main thing I thought was "wrong" with it, was the clarity was off (a little bit of a haze). Taste wise, I thought it was a bit tanic, but from what I've read about Barbarescos, that's what they're supposed to be like. Anyone else try this? Cheers, John |
