Led by Sommelier and Wine Director, Chris Russo (named San Diego's "Sommelier of the Year" for six consecutive years), NINE-TEN's "Wine of the Month" Club features a new wine each month, taking you on an excursion of local and global varietals and vineyards -- each complementing our globally-inspired, locally-sourced cuisine.
These special featured wines are offered at a 50% discount on Wednesdays, and a 20% discount every Thursday through Sunday during lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.
November Wine-of-the-Month:
Azelia, (100% Nebbiolo), Barolo DOCG, 2019
(regular retail price: $119)
Elegance and power combine in this shining example of Piedmont’s deep, traditional roots. Extended maceration time gives this wine Barolo’s signature strength while aging in large neutral oak allows the nuance and ethereal nature of Nebbiolo to shine through. Juicy cherry, red plums, rose petals, and violets dance with notions of clove and sweet cinnamon. Firm tannins are balanced by fresh acidity… this wine proves that Barolo can be pretty and brawny at the same time. Just in time for truffle season!
Recommended Pairing: Our Grilled Prime Ribeye with Mustard Greens, BBQ Kohlrabi, Roasted Shiitake Mushroom, Puffed Wild Rice, Mushroom/Sherry Puree and Sherry Jus
