Milano. My home for 10 years, a city I still feel a part of, home to many, many close friends and dozens of work colleagues and acquaintances, site of a myriad of experiences, evenings, days. My second city really. I can't bear to watch what is happening there now. My way of dealing with this... Continue Reading →
I'm reposting this article I wrote about Alessandra from Azienda Noventa in the Botticino DOC area, in the province of Brescia. I met Alessandra in July 2017 at her winery.

Today's post is about another Lombard city under siege, Brescia. Many people have not visited Brescia but know it for the great wines it produces, Franciacorta. Franciacorta became a DOC wine in 1967 but the Consorzio was created in 1990 by 29 producers. It became a DOCG in 1995. Today they have 200 producers and... Continue Reading →

Today I am writing about Crémant de Bordeaux even if I am not drinking it. My title is the unexpected pleasure that one finds in a Crémant de Bordeaux. I mean that in two ways, one that it's not the first wine you think of when you think of Bordeaux and two, thinking about bubbles... Continue Reading →

This month's #ItalianFWT topic is about one of my absolute favorite topics - Italian Women in Wine - which I have been writing about for 12 years and thinking about for 15 years since I first met some of the women in Le Donne del Vino, the preeminent association for Italian Women in Wine....
