If I can find that deeply discounted dolcetto, I'll buy a bottle...or three. I’m with you on the bargain bin – and one keeper out of three for a total of $17 ain’t bad.

Deb's most likely right about the Malvasia, as the nut/kerosene combo is a classic sign that a white's gone south (which, in another context, is also where this one -- from Tuscany -- started). At least you liked the Dolcetto! Thanks for participating, Jason.

It was a lot of fun. Really enjoying your tour of Italy (and Washington) for that matter. I am headed to Greece in April so can offer a little wine tour of my own soon! @Dr Debs Thanks for the welcome! It was a lot of fun.

The Malvasia looks very interesting--perhaps it was a bit over the hill which accounts for the nuttiness. Often there's some nuttiness in a Malvasia, but it's pretty faint. This sounds like maybe it oxidized a bit. And I would agree that Dolcetto is the Piedmont bargain "sweet spot"--more complex than Barbera, less expensive than high-end Nebbiolos! Welcome to WBW!
