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
