I am always overwhelmed by the fact that most collectors on here have little to no Aglianico in their cellar, yet seem to love them whenever I bring something to a BYO. Most of the wines shouldn’t be touched for 10+ years, and are usually still better at the 20+ years mark. My assumption is, that most people do not know what to buy/ what to cellar, and when the wines are young they often require very particular pairings and aeration or they will seem harsh. So, I thought it would be a fun to do a fairly wide Aglianico dinner.
Looking to keep this between $325-400 per person including dinner. Hard cap at 10 again including Julie G and I.
If anyone has a bottle of Mastroberardino Anthares for us to finish the night with, that would be amazing and could lower the cost for that person.

*I do not have multiples of many of these wines, so it will depend on what survived, but I do however have good alternatives.
