I had a chance to eat at Il Capriccio last summer when visiting family and had these two off the list. Utterly fantastic restaurant and list:

  • 1995 Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia - Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico (7/24/2008)
    Wonderfully fragrant, sandalwood, tobacco, and cherry. The palate is lean with tea leaf and cherry notes, perfectly proportioned for what I expect. A wine of artful finesse much more than size and girth, exactly what one would want and expect from this vineyard.
  • 1999 Romano Dal Forno Valpolicella Superiore - Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Valpolicella Superiore (7/24/2008)
    A real crowd pleaser. Tar, violet and raspberry on the nose. Wonderfully energetic with great fruit and acidity, plenty of structure but definitely takes a backseat to the wonderful black fruit expression. Utterly delicious.

Ron, it is a long story. Suffice it to say that when I manage to get to Boston it is usually a pretty somber thing without a lot of wine or socializing. My Dad is not doing too well. Anyway, next time I get there I will try to do a better job of reaching out to people.

#9

If you ever need me to do something for you here, let me know.

#10

Nancy Pilon will also be attending.

#11

Ron, unless its another person, it’s Natalie Pilon - don’t worry though, she’s a forgiving woman

#12

My apologies to Natalie, I look foward to meeting her.

#13

Natalie’s husband, whose name I don’t know, is also coming.
How many are we now?

#14

So that will be me and Mike (the infamous husband) unless he has to work and then I will ask my stand-in husband, Moshe.

#15

I think we are back to 10:
