Just started a MM All Juice Amarone so got that one covered.

Was thinking about picking up another MM red while it was on sale.

Leaning towards the Barolo?

What say ye?
 
Barolo is a great big red wine. Should be aged just like the Amarone. If you don't know what it taste like I would suggest to buy a bottle. Nothing like making and aging it and you dont care for the wines profile.

Varietal Notes:

Not always well known, especially for the role this grape plays in fine Barolos and Barbarescos, Nebbiolo is can produce big, dark, and tannic wines that have substantial aging potential. The name nebbiolo has two probable origins. </TD>

I really like Barolo's and will recommend them. But they do have a very Unique taste to them. It may be a love it or hate it type thing. I like em!!!
 
You may want to consider a white wine that will be ready to drink a little earlier so you can let those big reds age.

I have white (for the wife) but these reds keep calling to me......

Tepe, good advice, I picked up a 2003 Barolo today and had it tonight with some pasta and my favorite spicy red sauce. I decanted it for 2 hours. It was good but not to die for good. I think I am going to go with the Sangiovese. I know that one and love, love , love it.

OK Pinot Grigio is up after this!
 
I did some of both - MM Sangiovese and Barolo. The Alljuice Sangiovese I picked up in early May with the "Drink One, Age One" special and I just started an Alljuice Barolo last night with the current special. Both should be strong tasty reds that will need a good year of aging to reach their peak. I'll let you know how they turn out - only if there so-so will I share!
