Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino tasting held at Gotham Hall

Really enjoyed the Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino tasting held at Gotham Hall🍷🎉These wines come from the Montalcino region of Tuscany, Italy. Just like the well-known Chianti wines everyone loves, Brunello di Montalcino is made from the same grape called, “sangiovese”.

The wines poured yesterday were delicious! Most bottles were from the stellar 2015 vintage and showed flavors of bright red cherry, baking spices and grippy tannins. This is my second time trying this particular year and it really didn’t disappoint. They definitely need more time in the bottle to age and I am sure it will be a dream once they’re ready. It was a great time!

BAROLO & BARBARESCO WORLD OPENING 2020 IN NEW YORK CITY

The first ever Barolo & Barbaresco World Opening in NYC

My love for Barolo goes so deep. Over a decade ago, when I first started learning about wine, I went to the region of Barolo located in Piedmont, Italy by myself for ten days. I tasted wine all day, went truffle hunting, and went to the original Eataly💗🍷 '

Now they came to NYC!! The first ever Barolo & Barbaresco World Opening was held here as part of their campaign to promote these wines around the world. The Grand Tasting had over 200 producers pouring wines made from 100% Nebbiolo. The point was to experience one grape and how its vineyard location affected its taste. Wines from Barolo and Barbaresco can age up to 40 years and are some of the most sought after in the world. I couldn’t wait for this day!! Barolo has such a special place in my heart and everyone knows that if it were my last day on Earth, I would want a big glass of Barolo. This was amazing and I was very lucky to be here! 💕🍷💕
