The Wine Thread

[marqisspes6]

Hello everyone! as many of you know, evoweb is another home to me as i know its to many of you so I wanted to share one of my... passions? hobbies? things I love? Not really sure how to put it, but its like music to me, so probably passion fits it more.
So the idea behind this thread is for me and hopefully for you to share the wines that you love, discovered, didnt liked it, and to talk about it or even inform ourself on what we can drink outside our own country when we visit other places

Starting first:

One of my favourites bodegas around here in Argentina its El Enemigo, I'm a fan of mostly all their wines, but one that touch my soul is this one...



Picture of my personal storage, 2019... great year for most of Argentinean wines. Bonarda a forgotten strain here in time but that was always there, like rock n roll, waiting for the right time to emerge again but always there never still. It remembers me of the good times I had on my many vacations on Mendoza, amazing texture, delicate, with terroir expression on your nose you can feel the ripe dark fruits. Amazing Wine to me 10/10

Bonarda! Nice choice, I didn't know it was also present in Argentina.
I wish I could still drink red wines, but apparently just a sip of any* red wine is enough to give me insta-migraine and to make me beg for someone to kill me in order to free me from the pain it causes.

So, it's only white wines for me (and it's been so for years now), especially if they're from northern Italy.

While I absolutely love 'Ortrugo' and 'Pignoletto' (both from Emilia-Romagna, the former from the hills just south of Piacenza and the latter from the region around Bologna), I must admit that there are also some wines based on the Vermentino grape that are definitely worth trying.
I especially like one that's made along the border between Liguria and Toscana, the 'Colli di Luni' which is a very enjoyable still wine (as opposed to 'Ortrugo' which, on the contrary, is absolutely enjoyable but is usually lightly sparkling and a bit more 'acid' from what I seem to understand about wines, which isn't much anyway).

*tried twice with different wines, almost died both the times. Not willing to repeat the experience for the foreseeable future.
