A 2004 Brunello Di Monalcino La Fiorita, Tuscany, Italy. As soon as the som named this wine, I waslike "OMG Lish that's the wine I just dropped all that money on!!!" I was so excited to try it. This wine did not disappoint in the least. In fact, it has me REALLY ******* excited for the special day I decide to open my own.Originally Posted by kwilkinson
that's great! that's a buddy of mine's wine. Lucio Gomiero, he's this crazy hard-core foodie from outside Verona, but he actually lives just outside of Salinas where he's--get this--the world's biggest grower of radicchio (at least as far as can be ascertained ... most of it goes to McD to use for color in their mixed salad). he's got two tre bicchiere wineries in italy ... one of them is vignalta, which is outside of verona and makes really good, very affordable wines (i know you can find them at corti bros). then a few years ago he started la fiorita. believe he got 3 glasses in his first vintage. really a sweet guy and one of the ultimate food nerds.

The new guy from CityZen, right? He was recovering from a cough when I was there... it was fun shooting the bull with him about DC restaurants. He definitely knows his stuff; I think he's due to take his Masters Somm test soon.Originally Posted by Roikins

That's a great story. Well, I can tell you his wine was damned good. And this bottle is less than $50 retail, I believe.

yesterday, I used 1.25 cups of this to cook:
Notice the ridiculous honey color:
And this is what the GF made me. Linguine with monkfish, thyme, and zucchini. And then prosciutto wrapped veal cutlets with sage. I finished the bottle of wine while she cooked, and then we split another. Happy time

Because of the bad influence of you hooligans, today I bought six new wine glasses and a new decanter. Making dinner for six on Saturday, with a great assortment of wines and I wanted to be ready.Originally Posted by Manton

So I am 26 years old. For the past three months I have been adding 6 bottles a month to my cellar. I am not planning on drinking anything out of it until 2012. That will give me 155 bottles when 2012 hits.
I used to be such a nice boy. Look at what you've done to me!!!
