In this episode, Jeff tastes two Chardonnay samples from the same year, vineyard, and winery. The difference? One of them was aged in a concrete egg!
Wines Tasted:
Castello di Amorosa 2013 Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay and 2013 La Rocca Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay
Stay Rad,
Jeff
Note: Both these samples were provided for review by Castello di Amorosa.

Nice post, StayRad,
I’d like to try Castello, but I can’t find it anywhere in stores.
Do you know of a location in the SF Bay Area where it’s available?
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Pete,
Castello di Amorosa is a direct to consumer winery, so you won’t find it any stores. You can purchase the wines online at their website here… http://www.castellodiamorosa.com/Wines
I have also seen a few bottles on Amazon here… http://amzn.to/1gIoN7W
However, if you live in the Bay Area, I would take a day trip to Napa and do a tasting at the winery. That way you could narrow down which of their wines you prefer, and buy whatever you want without having to pay shipping. Here’s a link to their different tasting options… http://www.castellodiamorosa.com/Visit-Us
Let me know what you end up doing.
Stay Rad,
Jeff
