Be sure to include the Vernaccias of Contini. They are fantastic wines. Especially the solera (unusual for the area) Antico Gregori. It has an average age betweeen 60-70 yrs. Unfortified, but "cask strength"-wine with alcohol around 17% and extremely intense mouthfeel.

2 versions will be served, the NV and the 1987. Contini Vernaccia di Oristano is a personal favorite.

Love it too. I sold it at my first retail gig in Manhattan, the now defunct Wine Shop.
 
Levi,

At Kermit Lynch I tasted a Flor wine from Domaine de la Rectorie in Collioure that was Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc. It was fantastic.

You're an Oristano OG, bro.

Thanks for the KL tip.

I won't shower for a month before the dinner. Should get some nice strains out of that.
 
Levi,

Your timing is impeccable for this event. There's a Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables joke in here somewhere. I do like a chilled Manzanilla aperitivo this time of year.

Definitely interested. Are Amontillado and Palo Cortado considered as falling in this category? I have a Pedro Romero VORS Amontillado on hand.
