About the FNCC

Some wines need no introduction. We are not Some Wines. We are Andrew and Simon and this is the classic boy meets wine story. Forged from the smoldering fires erupting from the boredom of middle aged Friday nights, and an infantile ignorance of a simple wine known only as "Chianti".

To adhere to the scientific method,
all Chianti's will be decanted, served at room temp and ingested orally, while reviewing the scientific method, for scientific methodology.

The oldest Chianti to date


Le Cinciole
Chianti Classico
2007

Bevmo $17.99

Environment and Extraneous Variables:
Simon's house; Musical backdrop random mix including Foo Fighters & Dire Straights. Tortellini with bell peppers and mushroom made by Simon( !)

Initial Impressions:
"Like a silky velvet fist" -SP
"Ok, I know why I'm feeling this way... 14% alcohol by volume" -AP

Descriptive terms:
smokey, fully developed, like an elder statesman, easy like sunday morning and refined ruffness.

Character Comparisons:
Obe Wan Kenobi, Winston Churchhill, JFK and Aretha Franklin.

Overall Rating and Conclusions:
AP rating 4.25 corkscrew turns. (CST's)
SP rating 4.0 corkscrew turns. (CST's)

It really is a good wine, either as a Chianti or otherwise. Being the oldest wine we've tasted, makes our untrained pallets wonder about the influence of age. Finally, we suggest this course of action. Buy it, drink it, enjoy it.
