In the past, I didn’t give much thought to wine left over in an open bottle, except to practice my own advice of refrigerating the bottle to preserve the wine for drinking in the next day or two. Mostly, my husband and wine writing partner Ed McCarthy and I had very little leftover wine. Together we would enjoy a bottle to the full almost every night over the course of a meal. Now I live alone, and I am also consuming less wine than I once did. Every bottle I open easily lasts me three or four days.

Tuscany is a remarkable wine region. Although most of its red wines are based on the Sangiovese grape — with notable exceptions along the coast — the variety among them is almost endless. Even within a single DOCG appellation such as Chianti Classico, the wines, always 80 to 100 percent Sangiovese, vary from commune to commune and from producer to producer. A case in point is my recent tasting of five Tuscan Sangiovese wines from a single importer, Dalla Terra Winery Direct.

San Pedro, Cachapoal-Andes (Chile) “Altair” 2019 ($90): Four years ago, only months before the word “Covid” was coined, I visited Chile with a group of fellow Masters of Wine. Many of the wine regions we visited were familiar to me, but one wine region was a discovery. That region is Cachapoal-Andes, within the Rapel Valley south of Maipo. Thinking back, I recall Cachapoal as a secret pocket of vineyards at the edge of the Andes foothills, a gorgeous site producing impressive wines.

Mira Winery, Napa Valley Hyde Vineyard Syrah 2016 ($95): We each have our favorite wine descriptors that suggest special characteristics of fine wine that we encounter only rarely. “Seamless” is one of those words for me. It suggests a wine that expresses itself as a whole, with no edges, no seams; complete unto itself. When I tasted this Syrah, “seamless” was the first descriptive that popped into my mind. “Round” and “harmonious,” followed close behind.
