Enjoy one of Northern Italy’s most popular wines. This is a lush, medium to full-bodied wine, rich with bright raspberry and cherry aromas. The intense flavors of cherry and spice come together in a balanced wine that is a perfect complement to meats, pasta and pizza! It is a great everyday wine!

@chipgreen@CorTot@rpstrong Don’t miss Rudyard Kipling tearing it up against Jackie Chan, in “Drunken Master vs. Drunken Mongoose”, coming soon to a theater near you!
@novium I opened a bottle of the 2012 when I received it and gave it 3 stars, which in my cellar log means I liked it and would be happy to have more. Then in October, I opened another bottle and my notes say: “Medium body and color, tart, light tannin. Stylish, but unsatisfying.” But then I’m a lover of Petite Sirah, so that’s not surprising.
How much more are you saving by buying a full case?

2013 Pavi Wines Napa Valley Dolcetto - $55 = 30.55%
@rrutl248 what was the vintage offered last October? I drank it pretty fast, thought it was good for the price. My order history doesnt show the vintage.
@rrutl248 I do recall loving the march buy so that was 2012. Then i bought the oct which must have been 2013. All i know now is im out of both. Wines from Piedmont have been a favorite of mine for a while. Maybe that has something to do with me enjoying this 13. But you have a point, i sure remember the first buy more than the second.
@Winedavid49 That was about shipping…
This is a valid question that pertains to this offer. I searched all over trying to see if the issues were resolved.
@chipgreen@CorTot@kaolis we went on the personal history of Pavi being a good partner and a popular choice with the woo errrr casemates crowd. we don’t dive into grower payments issues (other than saving some wineries A$$es a few times with well timed revenue injections).
@Codebender Yeah, that’s the sugar in the grapes. When it comes to the finished product, you want to know the RS, or residual sugar. Though not every spec sheet will list that.

Pavi does not rhyme with savvy, just saying…
@CorTot Maybe we’ve been saying it wrong, all this time?
@CorTot @InFrom

@chipgreen @CorTot What’s scarier than a drunken mongoose?
@CorTot yes, but the V’s …
@chipgreen @CorTot @InFrom Maybe a Drunken Master?

I bought some of this last time, but I don’t remember what I thought of it. Nothing particularly memorable, apparently.
@novium I opened a bottle of the 2012 when I received it and gave it 3 stars, which in my cellar log means I liked it and would be happy to have more. Then in October, I opened another bottle and my notes say: “Medium body and color, tart, light tannin. Stylish, but unsatisfying.” But then I’m a lover of Petite Sirah, so that’s not surprising.
I’m wondering how this one compares to the 2012.

got it last time (thanks for keeping the same price, guys!). A good everyday wine, and definitely good with pasta and pizza. Happy with it!
Have the 2012 and 2013 in the cellar. 2012 is good, but wasn’t impressed with the 2013.
@rrutl248 what was the vintage offered last October? I drank it pretty fast, thought it was good for the price. My order history doesnt show the vintage.
@scott0210 last October’s offer was the 2013 vintage. March 2018 was the 2012. 2012 was a steal for QPR, but I would pass on the 2013.

@rrutl248 @scott0210 Shoot…now I’m going to have to check notes to see but I think I really liked the 2013.
Were the lawsuits ever settled?
@kaolis I thought you were gonna behave yourself!
@Winedavid49 That was about shipping…

@kaolis @Winedavid49
@kaolis @Winedavid49 lol! I don’t think he knows how.
@CorTot @Winedavid49 @chipgreen Sure I do! But hey I’m still curious if the bills got paid. Seemed it was some serious coin

I got a case last time, still have some. I enjoyed it. I think if I should get more? Or should I wait to try something else?

Love this stuff
24.6 brix? No wonder people like it, that’s a dessert wine. Coca-Cola is 10-11.
@Codebender are you being snarky about the fact that they didn’t specify that they picked at 24.6 and instead just listed the number?
@novium No… is that what they mean? If so just ignore me, I’m not a wine expert in any sense.
@Codebender Yeah, that’s the sugar in the grapes. When it comes to the finished product, you want to know the RS, or residual sugar. Though not every spec sheet will list that.
@Codebender yeah, brix is a measure of sugar at picking.
If I had the space, I would grab another case of this. It’s a great easy picking wine around here.
