Norbert Dr. Reinisch Bologna of GIACOMO BOLOGNA Italian Piemonte wines tastes sic FABulous bottles here at Cleveland Park Wines with Michel Dumas and Anthony Quinn ( me ) and we arrange to buy some of them from Vinifera Imports. What a treat, some of Italy's very, VERY best! More about these exceptional dry red Brabera wines as well as the sweet white Moecato and the Brachetto D'Aqui sweet red, and the red blend of Brabera, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet I believe?!? Such fruit-forward , balanced wines - never lose sight of the grape from which the wine was inspired : bravo Norbert and Raffaella! Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn Thursday, October 24th, 2013 : great to finally meet you - have been selling your wines now for years! TONY
Eric Parzynski of Vinifera Imports was nice enough to take these pictures of us that included Michel Dumas that works with Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn at Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits at 3423 Connecticut Avenue N.W. Washington D.C., 20008 in our FABulous " happenin' " Cleveland Park neighborhood earlier today, Thursday October 24th, 2013.
I first met Eric's wife Raffaella at McArthus Beverages back in late 1999 or early 2000 when Regis our rep then ( still great friends today with Raffaella and Norbert ) brought her to the store to taste and visit with Tom Hanna. I have some pictures of that visit and am thrilled to have them. Back then I was using a non-digital camera so someday I will have to scan them and include them.
Norbert if from Austria and met Raffaella way back in 1991 at Vin Italy and I believe that they got married in 1994! What a great partnership, what really fine FABulous wines, too. More on that tomorrow when I am back at the store and can refer to my notes I took there. Cheers, grazie Norbert e Eric e Regis ( that stopped by later to taste his wines from Roanoke Selections. Norbert is staying with Regis during this visit here. Great things like friendships sure do endure! TONY
