Speaker 1: Hello, differends. Welcome. I'm Jordan Rich. This is Connesshu's Corner.
Speaker 1: We talk about food and we talk about wine, and
Speaker 1: we're doing so today with Ken Huggins of Ken'swineguide dot Com.
Speaker 1: Don't forget to sign up for his free e newsletter.
Speaker 1: It's terrific. Let's do something terrific for Father's Day. Some suggestions.
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a couple of ninety five
Speaker 2: point gift wines to give your dad in your life,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to keep the price under one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: The first one is a top shelf wine from Italy.
Speaker 2: It goes for seventy one dollars. It's Guidoberto. It's the
Speaker 2: second wine from Tunuda San Guido. They also produce the
Speaker 2: legendary wine called Sassakaya. Sometimes this is called the Little
Speaker 2: Brother because it comes from some of their younger vines.
Speaker 2: But the twenty twenty two vintage is the best version
Speaker 2: of this wine. I've covered its full body, nicely balanced,
Speaker 2: very smooth and seamless, but yet it's got some robustness
Speaker 2: to it, some BlackBerry and cedar flavors in their graphite
Speaker 2: and cherry. Everything you really want if you're cooking a
Speaker 2: nice brilled hangar steak for dad, this is a perfect match.
Speaker 1: How about a second choice for all the great dads
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the next one's going to be a cabernet
Speaker 2: that blew away the tasting panel and myself. The twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one Mirriam Vineyards Rock Pile.
Speaker 3: That's a region in California that makes some really really
Speaker 3: good zins and really really good cabs.
Speaker 2: Eighty dollars ninety five points. It's a big boy, full body, balanced,
Speaker 2: smooth and dense, concentrated boysonberry and tobacco flavors. They're a
Speaker 2: little stony minerality and black plump. Dad could put this
Speaker 2: in the cellar, or you can decant it and put
Speaker 2: it with a well marbled rabbi.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you. Ken Hoggins all part of Connoisseur's
