Bellissimo Brunello – True to Name
May

I don’t think I’ve ever attended a tasting with as much positive energy as last Thursday’s Bellissimo Brunello event, though it’s easy to understand why.  The 2007 and 2006 vintages for Brunello truly are amazing and showed extremely well that night.  When I mentioned to James Suckling how I felt a handful of the wines possibly deserved a point or...

Grilled Montauk Swordfish with Pea Greens, Peas, Italian Sausage Meat and Organic Carrot-Chive Broth
May

Apr
24
It’s been all about the Rhone region for me recently.  I started to explore this region in more depth a little over a month ago first with some 2003 CDPs and then moved onto older vintages.  From there, I moved north into Hermitage and spent a few nights with some older bottles.  What I was beginning to figure out was these wines are an unbeli...
