Having been to Pelletiere once before (and buying a case if I recall correctly), we knew we were in for a treat when we visited earlier this month. Pelletiere showcases Italian varietals, which while not completely rare in Paso are definitely not the norm. Lagrein and Nebbiolo are rarer varietals to see and Pelletiere has them both. The wines are balanced and made to invite you to drink them immediately, but if you can resist they'll hold up nicely if you want to showcase them at next year's Thanksgiving! Happy Tasting!-Chenise & Jamie
