Sommelier at il Buco Alimentari
Continues to be my favorite Etna-golden yellow in color, round and deep, but with rich minerality and medium high acid: white peach, apricot, yellow ripe pear, daisies, honey, mead, crushed ash...and buffalo mozzarella! — 9 years ago
Apple core, pear skin, white flowers, steely with slight waxiness. Big, powerful and rich weighty minerals. — 10 years ago
What Barbaresco should always be- — 9 years ago
Natural Trebbiano d'Abbruzzo, puts most other showings at Tre Bicchieri to shame: Rich and deep-notes of yellow apple, sun baked hay and straw, chestnut honey- but sharp clean minerality and acidity. Awesome. — 9 years ago
Olive brine, graphite,, hot stones, warm spices, dark berries, tanned leather and very slight vegetal qualities. — 10 years ago
Deep and rich- notes of cassis, dark berries, wet gravel, dried black tea leaves, rose petals cigar box, On the palate surprisingly elegant, soft coating tannins and amazingly vibrant for the age. Really beautiful. — 10 years ago
Classic as it comes- Vernaccia Di San Gimignano, classic Chianti (old school, mix of red and white grapes), and beautiful 100% Sangiovese. Love Montenidoli, Sono Montenidoli. — 9 years ago
One of my first Wine Dinners as a somm- with the late great Serge Hochar. It was an honor to meet him, and really don't think it can be topped! — 9 years ago
Red berries, chocolate, coffee, dried tobacco toasted bread, gravel- surprisingly bright and elegant. On mouth, a little weak but good firm tannic grip. — 10 years ago

From near my house- Viognier, grechetto, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from off the Appia Antica. Natural stuff, interesting for sure. — 9 years ago
