Gambero Rosso "Tre Bicchieri"

This past weekend I was lucky enough to attend the Tre Bicchieri tasting in New York. I had never been to a tasting this size and was really nervous. For the first 15 minutes I just stood around making a game plan. I knew that Vietti was present, so I started there. Barolo Villero Riserva 2006. A grand start, to say the least. I was sad that Elena and Luca were not there, but as it turned out, Jeffrey Chilcott was there with Marchesi di Gresy, who I met this summer in Barbaresco. It was great catching up with him, and we will hopefully see each other this summer when I go to Piemonte. Another fun encounter: I ran into Bill Nesto, my wine teacher. 

My favorites at the tasting:

Vietti

Marchesi di Gresy

Casanova di Neri

Wishing I was back in Piemonte, hanging out with all these wonderful producers, and drinking amazing wine. Can't wait to go back this summer!
