____________________________
More quirkbittle from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. This was a pleasant Chianti but just that. Not very distinguished. The blend suggests a Super-Tuscan. But there is nothing that is "super" about this wine. Resembles a lower-end Chianti more than anything. Unthrilling.

Interesting. About 20 years ago I had my first Querciabella after running into the Italian owner/winemaker in a Bellingham, Washington wine store--he was dating a local lady. Bought a bottle, quite liked it, and for awhile his wines were well represented hereabouts. A friend opened a recent vintage not long ago and found it as ordinary as you did this one.
