Lo-Fi seems to be everywhere in LA these days but I’ve somehow unintentionally avoided trying any

A Piedmonte producer thats been taking some heat in mother Sweden after it turned out that the Enzo Bartoli fellow reffered to on the label not being a historical one with the nature down in Piedmonte kind of a guy the producers claimed he was, in which spirit they produced their wines. Just a made up character and the artisan small scale back to the roots winemaking turned out to be something else. Still a pretty good Barolo Bussia for weekday drinking

More hipster wine. This comes in a liter with a beer bottle cap. Still only counts as one ...

Looks like they aren't shy with the mega purple!

Speaking of wine with strange colors... Vintage not pictured but this was an about 35 year old Mersault. Armoa and palate correct for a burg of this level and age, but instead of being the usual caramelly gold color, it had an almost fluorescent green tinge to it that I have not experienced before. I assume something to do with the slightly more interventionist winery practices that were more in vogue a couple decades ago. Regardless, was very much alive and outstanding to drink.

Don't care for the corporate entity but still quite like this particular bottling.

…and then some „everyday“ but very nice (although still relatively young) stuff:

We need both, right?

Over yesterday and today. Highly recommended Languedoc-Roussillon. Convinced team US would approve. 50% syrah and 50% carignan

Easy drinking heat-wave juice…

@Omega Male Agree on Isosceles.

Looks like it's one of those nights.
