1999 CSU Bakersfields 30th Anniversary Barbera

[winoweenie]

This intriguing bottle was made by Fresno States`enology department with grapes from Duarte Linden Hills Vineyard. Fresno State has the only bonded winery at an educational institution in the U.S. This brite cherry fruit bomb looks and smells beautiful in the glass. RED fruits up front with a tad of vanilla, some white pepper and cinnamon that makes this lil` gem great with food. Has a strong finish and should age well as balanced as it is. All this AND tax deductable.Eat ytouse hart out there Rad-Man. winoweenie

Hey WW, nice find, wish I could get my hands on some!

On the topic of barbera, and going back to your brief mentioning of Reverie the other day, I found 2 bottles of Reverie's 1996 Barbera here in NYC the other day for $38/per. Only 25 CASES made! I figured what the hell, the vineyards are surrounded by some real winners, and I thought I'd give 'em a try. Are you familiar with these?

Rad, No. Haint` tried any of Kikens wines since the 94 which he declassified. Al and Von S says he doesn`t have a clue yet. WW
