His family owns and makes the great wines at PEDRONCELLI ( 1220 Canyon Road Geyserville, CA. 95441-9638, www.pedroncelli.com 707 857-3531 ) and we will have a selection of Richard's wines in October. Barbara Rundquist-Muller comes from Germany's Mosel valley and is the owner of DR. H. THANISCH, Erben Muller-Burggraef, Saarallee 24 54470 Bernakstel-Kues 06531/7570 Fax : 06531/7910 ) and her wines will also be here in larger selections this October. Miriam Caporali ( of TEUTA VALDIPIETTA Via della Ciar;iana 25/A - 53045 Montepulciano -Siena - +39 (0) 578 75790 www.valdipiatta.it ) was here last night ( Friday, Sept. 19th, 2008 ) tasting here wines from Tuscany. Later Paolo Librandi of LIBRANDI ( www.librandi.it ss. 106 c. da San Gennaro, 8811 Ciro Marina ( KR ) te: +39 0962 31518 ) came to meet Miriam and we all went down to Spices restaurant to chill and shoot the breeze. It was sublime after a great 3-hour+ wine-tasting here of Miriam's excellent three Tuscan reds : a Rosso di Montalcino, a Vino Nobile and the decadently-superb 2001 Vino Nobile di Vigna D'Alfiero.
We also had Ruud Maasdam owner/winemaker of STAETE LANDT, Marlborough, New Zealand come pour here this Saturday morning from 11-2 PM in the store. Go to : www.staetelandt.co.nz for more info on these three greta dry whites and one dry Pinot Noir.
Reps John Peters ( LVDH Imports ) and David and Patricio Winebow imports ) were also here yesterday in the store.
