Episode 42 – It’s a Piedmont Party! (With an Offer You Can’t Refuse)
Pete and VinoMike are back after a week off due to, well, 2020. This year is all about adapting and the guys are giving it their best shot. Once again, they are forced to record from separate studios. There were only a few tears shed before the recording began.
To ease the burden, your hosts each pop a bottle from their favorite wine region – Piedmont! VinoMike starts it off with a beautiful bottle of Barbaresco from Beivuma. The 2016 Beivuma “Valeirano” Barbaresco. This private label comes from the Ada Nada winery, one of the absolute gems of Barbaresco. It is a single-vineyard offering that offers insane value. There are only a few others making wine from this vineyard and those bottles go for upwards of $100 a bottle, and as much as $200. This one? About $43. If you can get it, buy it! (Reach out to your hosts and they will see if they can help.)
The guys wax poetic about truffles during this segment. There is nothing – NOTHING – like Nebbiolo and truffles. If you have never tried this pairing, now is the time. (And there is a special offer below to help you if you live in IL.)
Next up, Pete also chooses a Barbera d’Alba from Ghiomo. The 2018 Ghiomo “Lavai” Barbera d’Alba is absolutely delicious and a perfect choice for your Thanksgiving table. Much softer and approachable than the young Nebbiolo VinoMike had in his glass. Both wines definitely offer pure joy and are worth seeking out.
Pete and VinoMike finish up the show talking about the first offer of wines from Wines On The Bluff. This is a new project from Thad Morrow and features wines from their friend, Paolo at Beivuma. They are currently shipping to IL.
The case includes six bottles (two each) of some of the best Piedmont has to offer. This includes five single-vineyard offerings with a pair of Baroli and even a ten-year-old Ghemme from La Torretta. The wines alone are worth the $400. But they throw in a black truffle imported directly from Italy. Seriously, Pete and VinoMike may have sounded like an infomercial but they just really wanted to show how great this offer is. Get it while you can because truffles don’t last forever!

NOTE – This is NOT a sponsored segment. Pete bought this right away and your hosts think it is something you should take advantage of if you can.
