2002 Michele Chiarlo Barfbera d'Asti

An absolutely gorgeous Barbera nose, offering promise of heaven on earth, then...... wha'? Reminds me of the TV commercial of several years back, with the little ol' blue-haired lady asking, "Where's the BEEF?" Light's on but nobody's home. Maybe if it warms up to 70F it will come around, but patience ain't one of my (too few) virtues. About $10 and 13% alc/vol.

Now that's a note. Can't say I've tried this. Doesn't sound like I need to. The BarFbera name is funny though.

"BarFbera" was unintended... not a "barfy" wine at all, just sloppy typing at work.

A little "Freudian" slip of the fingers? It's still funny.
