Patrizia is BACK! We’re hosting her and her father in a FREE tasting of their Pinot Nero based wines (ranging from WHITE to a sparkling DOCG Rosato to a couple of reds) plus a nice Barbera in our bar from 6:30 to 8pm tonight, Wednesday 11/6/13.


Info about her and her wines below.

Huh?

Mike, here is NBC covering HK wines at Veronica de Castro’s store in the Big Orange:

Is this a LA thingy Roberto? newhere

Something to do between lattes and those little faux kissy kisses? [tease.gif]

No, it’s a world wide (mostly female / gay male driven) fashion / collector thing. Normally we skip that stuff but I have known Patrizia since she was a yout and it will be fun. See our copy for the wine:

Tenimenti Castelrotto Torti Hello Kitty Brut Rosé, Oltrepò Pavese
Tenimenti Castelrotto Torti Hello Kitty Sweet Pink, Oltrepò Pavese
Many of you have been fans of this cantina for years, particularly their Pinot Nero in Bianco which was a huge hit last year. We’ve been friends of the lovely Patrizia and Laura Torti for well over a decade and were amused / stunned to learn that they had secured the rights to sell their 100% Pinot Nero based bubblies with the badge of one of the world’s most iconic…well…ICONS (Gwen Stefani eat your heart out!). The Brut Rosé is lightly pink with quite fine mousse and a lovely fruit driven nose. The Sweet Pink is also pure Pinot but finished quite rich, just the thing for Sunday breakfast in bed, an afternoon rendezvous or a Cibo Matto show at the Bowl.

We’re getting press for it already:

I must confess, Patrizia is the first producer that I’ve ever felt the urge to search on Google Images. Sorry Wells, Kevin et al.

The OC will get a bottle signing with Patrizia too that day, she will be at Wine Lab Newport (in the shadow of Hi-Time) from 5 - 7 PM on Saturday June 26th.
