Wine in the Warehouse with Estelle Imports

I find the warehouse is a fitting scene for an industry tasting. Estelle Imports showed selections from Italy, Spain, France, and the North West.

Some of our favorite finds:

• Angel Vine Columbia Valley 08 "the Hellion" ($22): 72% Primitivo blended with Petite Syrah. An interesting combination, and an interesting wine! I get a dirty, tasty zing of smooth, synthetic blueberries and a light stone characteristic.
• Marco Porello 08 Nebbiolo d'Alba ($18): the most awesome juice box you ever had in elementary school.
• Rouge Queues 08 Santenay: comforting toasty cracker with nicely integrated tannic rubber.
• Bodegas Juan Manuel Burgos Rivera del Duero Roble 08 "Fescenino:" short takes on the long winded title-- Brent says "best deal of the day," Caitlin exclaims, "oh my god." Yes, this jammy, American-esque Spanish red is tasty and affordable.
