Both '78s were Gaias? Barolo and Barbaresco are pretty similar. Same grape (Nebbiolo), similar soil (calcareous marls), similar topography (ridges and very steep slopes), vineyards only 5 to 10 miles apart, similar growing and...

- a Barolo like wine but with uva rara – I think that is the other grape besides nebbiolo (I’m trying to learn more so bear with me :) ) Anyway – enjoy!

be a Nebbiolo. One of the better Bardolinos or Valpolicellas would also do the trick. My last osso bucco paired beautifully with a Patrimonio, a Corsican red blend dominated by Nielluccio, which is related to Sangiovese, so you...

a Bruno Giacosa 2000 Nebbiolo d’Alba for $45 bucks on the wine list! Not as good as his Barbaresco or Barolo, but for that price (less than 2x multiplier of the recent vintage!) it was a total treat. I don’t know whats...

I agree, Babbo. Order a la carte as opposed to tasting menu and drink a $30 bottle of Valtellina for a good Italian red (nebbiolo) at a great price. If you can’t get a phone res, Arrive when they open at 5:30 or so and put...

I second this advice about Piedmont. I was just there in the Roero wine producing region. The wines in Piedmont are wonderful: Barolo, Nebbiolo, Arneis, etc. There are bed & breakfasts (agroturismo) throughout the region and some...

with heavenly Grappa, (“Berta Grappa Nebbiolo Tre Soli Tre (45º)”). We got extra on the house, what a nice gesture (this Grappa is expensive). Barolo Capitol Hill 223 Pennsylvania Ave., SE (bet. 2nd & 3rd Sts.)...

were just right, however. Not too big or too skimpy. We shared a nice Italian wine flight with lunch. A nebbiolo, chianti and barolo. All in all, it was a very civilized respite from work, and a nice lunch option if you live or...

? Bottom line, bring your own wine(s) to match this excellent food. If you were only bringing one wine I’d rec a Chardonnay as there’s plenty to match it very nicely. Secondly a RICHER red of your choice: cab, merlot,...

In spite of numerous attempts, I never got a chance to eat at Supper until last night. I could kick myself for waiting this long! 4 of us shared a beautiful bottle of $60 Nebbiolo at the bar, then moved to a table for dinner. We...

the nebbiolo from a nice short by the glass list, and like other parties we saw, we were given a glass of champagne/sorbet/italian meringue for dessert (does this drink have a name?) Everything was simple and well executed and the...
