2004 Seghesio Family Vineyards Barbera

[hotwine]

Beautiful wine! Looks like a Barbera, smell like a Barbera, tastes like a Barbera! And from Cali-for-nia, at that. The best I've had from anywhere other than the Alba region of Italy. With pizza at home when we found the local Olive Garden jernt too crowded after church last night; $22 and a whopping 14.8% alc/vol (no wonder we slept in until 7 this morning, 'way beyond our usual 4:30 - 5).
