France invades Italy II.5 !

This event was scheduled for March 2020, but didn't happen (see photo). This means these wines I bought had an additional 2400 days of aging in my cellar. See below for the original still valid description. The only addition will be a number of wines I will bring from my cellar that I have to shrink because of downsizing. I am keeping the 2020 cost, because that is how I roll (backwards) It is not a secret that French varietals exist in Italian wines, especially once you get over the $100 range in Tuscany. Tonight we will taste Bordeaux blends from places like Bolgheri and Puglia. Some will have Italian varietals mixed in, some will be 100% French varietal. The 3 whites will be a Chardonnay, a Sauvignon Blanc and for fun, a 'white' Barolo, which has nada to do with France, but the Napoleon might have drunk it in 1796. Below are the 12 wines. Ave. bottle price $25 Castiglion del Bosco Dainero 2015 La Braccesca Achelo Syrah Cortona 2014 Librandi Critone 2018 Monte Antico Supremus 2015 Petra Zingari Toscana 2015 Piccini Memoro Rosso 2011 Querciabella Mongrana 2016 Tenuta Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato 2017 Tenuta Luisa Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Tommasi Poggio al Tufo Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 Tua Rita Rosso dei Notri 2017 Vietti Roero Arneis 2018 We have to limit it to 21 people so each person will get about 35+ml of every wine. The cost is $20/person. We will have snacks and such. Please bring cash or check to the meetup. Be SURE you can make it before you say yes, because no shows cost the host $$$, especially cancellations on that Thursday ALSO. Please understand if you make it from the waitlist during the last 24 hours before the event (late cancellers always persist), you'll have 3 hours to confirm to me via Meetup message that you can make it (excluding the middle of the night). If you don't respond, then you'll be moved to not going, people don't seem to notice when they move from the waitlist to going.
