Another bulk buy at Costco, they had stacks of the stuff, suggesting they had bought a distrib's close-out inventory.

Capsule was intact and loose, promising no leakage due to heat. Deep red in the glass, no cloudiness at all; sound fruity nose, no detectable heat damage; bright red fruit on the palate, good typicity for Asti, with a lip-smacking moderate finish. With a Friday night omelette of shrooms, red peppers, shredded cheese. 14% alc/vol and $7.79 per. One box won't be enough.

Same here, IK. But it can be hazardous to your wallet around here in the summer; have tried two newbies in the last month that were both cooked.

Second bottle tonight, with her cabbage lasagna. Same rich fruit, same notes on nose and finish. Dee-lish! With luck, we'll do the same tomorrow night (I dearly love her cab. lasagna).

Took to friends' house last night for our Sunday night group gathering.... with the hostess's chicken and pasta in a cream sauce. Delightful! More like a 30-buck jug than a less-than-8-buck loser. Still have a bunch.
