WINE TALK

Sam’s.

Good luck to you and the young lady!

Terrific write-up and photos. I’d love a 6-pach of that 2010 Monfortino, son’s birthyear.

That may turn out to be the wine of vintage, but it is a great vintage across the board. Lots of good choices that won’t be $500 a bottle.

I’m sure you’re right Ken.

Had a great visit that pretty much mimics your visit. Such great wines that they are almost unbelievable. I get one case of each Barbera and a few bottles of the Barolo CF and one mag of the Barolo CF. Occasionally I get a bottle of Monfortino. One of the most tightly allocated wines I deal with. I would help you out if I could.

26

$500 a bottle for the 10 ? You know somebody ?

Great visit, great notes and description!

Cheers,

Thanks all for your kind comments.

Here’s some pricing from a wine shop in the town of Barolo (in Euros) of some Monfortinos:
