Mandola Winery {Luxist}
Dec 30th 2006 6:18AM There are so many things wrong with this. 1. A $14 wine from Texas featured in a 'luxury items' blog? 2. Canto Felice is not a grape varietal - it's bad Starbucks-italian name for a mix of "Sangiovese, Syrah, and Pinot Grigio grapes for a lightly sweet wine that is easy and fun to drink" ??!!?(according to the Austin Chronicle). Nebbiolo may be "less-well-known" in Lubbock, Texas, but it is the foundation for the famous Barolo and Barbaresco wines. 4. of Piedmont, Italy, not Tuscany, Italy. Give these guys 100 years and they may have something worth comparing to poorer vineyard sites in the Langhe.
The wines on this list are usually so bad (unless they have diamonds glued to a limited-edition bottle-cozy) that it takes some washed-up b-list former sports personality to flog them (Mike Ditka, Nick Faldo, Prince Charles are you listening?). Start reading Parker or the Wine Spectator rather than just poaching their press releases and maybe we'll start to see some good drops here in the future.
