Email Conversation With Roberta Ceretto of Piemonte, Italy's FABulous CERETTO Winery, August-September, 2013 : Enjoy!

The CERETTO Piemontese Dolcetto which we have on our shelves ( that we tasted recently with winemaker and Jody Jackman ) was very nice, too. This past week Jody dropped off an open bottle to try with the Barbaresco as well that I have already written about here. ... Now for the Dolcetto ... Classic leather, spice, earth, dusty-dry warmth and bramble and dried fruit/dried flowers of lovers pressed between pages of a book for a souvenir, and SO MUCH MORE : medium-to-light-bodied, a fine food wine, filled with Piemonte expression, a wonder to hold on one's tongue and on the palate, to swallow, to have the flavors spread and warm and make the parts they touch of us stir and rouse and become charmed- on the alert- ready to interact , to talk and participate, to flirt : Ahhhhh, the pleasures that are wine, company, food and art, too ... cheers, Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn 7/28/13 I still have a bit of the Barbaresco CERETTO that I will finish to tonight and report on. Happy Sunday July 28th, 2013 everyone.
