What a fine wine-tasting : Italian, Greek and French wines! Cheers, Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn 9/20/13 Caio, Bravo e a presto! Grazie ...
YESTERDAY @ Ripple Restaurant Winebow Imports hosted a great wine-tasting and I met :
1) Angela Maculan of her family's Veneto winery called MACULAN. We have the excellent PINO & TOI dry white blend of Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Tocai that's flavorful and dry and only $10.99. LOVED her 2 reds : 1) Brentino IGT Merlot 2011, and the Cabernet Sauvignon Palazzotto DOC 2010 - so elegant, airy, fruit-forward, fresh, BRIGHT and lively : gravity-defying BOTH!
I ALSO MET :
2) Clara Gentili ( pubbliche relazioni ) ofFATTORIA LE PUPILLE that in Tuscany, in Maremma and also in Morellino di Scansano makes fine reds - I tasted three, I LOVED the basic, less-expensive one. Will have to order some ASAP!
ALSO I MET :
3) Guido Orzalesi from ALTESINO in Tuscany and tried four FABulous reds, I loved the 3rd that came in a burgundy-style bottle that really impressed me to " no-end " - was it the 100% Sangiovetto Grosso 2008 DOCG Brunello? I'm calling for clarification now?
ALSO MET :
4) Filippo Zardetto of ZARDETTO SPUMANTI SRL that makes five spumanti sparkling Veneto wines from Valdobbiadene and around the region. I LOVED the Organic 100% Glera Brut NV, the Tre Venti-Three Winds Single Vineyard Brut NV 100% Glera, and the Rose NV 100% Rabosso. Wonderful!
I WILL TALK about GREECE in the next entry here! Cheers, Come check these out! What wonderful wines. Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn 9/20/13 Happy Friday, happy weekend, it's gorgeous here today, really beautiful. TONY
