Can we join this tavola?

Great!!!

How does this sound?

If it’s unacceptable, I’m going to start my own table.

[L_e_o_F_r_o_k_i_c]

Keith,

Should we do Barolo table or should we mix and match?

[Keith_Levenberg]

Here are some of the things I was thinking of:

• I’ve got some old Gattinaras coming whenever winebid ships though I’m not sure they’ll be here with enough time to settle. '79 and '82 Antoniolo and '74 Travaglini.
• Looking over my Piedmont stash, the '98s seem like the vintage that may be most worthwhile to check in on now? I have B. Mascarello, G. Conterno, both Cappellanos, and Giacosa Gallina.
• Could do some '97-'99 zone Brunellos too but I’m not sure those are worth opening yet.
• Whatever else I bring, I’ll also bring a '99 Valentini Trebbiano cuz I’m really curious how that one’s doing these days.
  Thoughts?

Keith,

All of this are mouth watering to me, so I guess we can stick with Piemonte theme.

[Keith_Levenberg]

I almost forgot! I also have some Vallanna Spanna c. '58 - '67.

01 B.Mascarello
95 Roagna Barolo Rocca e la Pira
98 Giacosa Falleto (not sure if I still have any of the Rocche)

I also may have a bottle left of the Roagna Chardonnay/Nebbiolo

Think that about sums up my personal piedmont stash.

I’ll leave the 3L of 95 Pergole Torte at home then. Would probably be a pain in the ass to get over there

Ah, so you’re (at least of the people who) outbid me on that.

[Ken_V]

Is there room at this cool kids table for me? I might have some Eye-talian wine!

I may have another 1985 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà mag like the one I brought last time. That seemed to go over well.

I could also bring some Sciacchetrà or some Forteto della Luja for dessert.

What’s a great choice? The wine, or starting my own table?

Did you get any of them? I only picked up the one.

Been thinking about this tonight: Would be nice to have some place like convivio or what have you try to do a dinner around the large format bottle. One wine, few courses, group of people.

Sounds good to me, I have few of those!

Let’s compromise. Start your own table, but give that bottle to our table!

[L_e_o_F_r_o_k_i_c]

we need 3 more for the table.

[Dale_Williams]

Room for 1 more? Ive got scattered Piedmonts from 70s and 80s, and plenty from 1996. If this is still a general Italian table I could also bring a Bea or Montevertine from the 80s. I’d probably do 2 reds and a white/bubbly (does latter have to be on theme?).

Great Dale!!! It looks like We’ll probably do Piemontese.

Don’t be shy about bringing a Bea from the 80s!!!

[Dale_Williams]

sorry, Ken, brainfart on my end, meant Pepe from 80s.
