Kicking it off: Nipozzano Reserve 2018, Chianti Rufina. A really nice variation on a classic Chianti, light and fruit forward but with a surprising amount of tannins - pretty heavily oaked, relative to a Chianti Classico anyway, it was no Knights Valley cab. Exceptionally balanced and highly recommended.

...but that said, if you let us know what you've liked and disliked so far, I bet we can sling you a few more recommendations to find similar things and help you branch out!

Definitely a fan of Bordeaux, Pinot Noir, some napa cabs, Brunello, Barolos, and other Italian reds. Pretty much anything red I am a fan of. Could never really get into whites but am hoping to find something I like eventually.

Sounds like you lean towards a bolder, oakier palate. Me too! You might try some of the drier whites from Alsace to see how those agree with you.

Sounds good I'll have to try some
