Ciao, How to taste wine—we could talk about it for hours. A few evenings ago, I met some friends, and we started talking about wines and tastings. Some questions came out on topics I thought were almost obvious, so I thought it was time to share our chat with you, too. Thus begins a journey of […]

Sandra is a beautiful person that I will introduce better shortly; also because I will involve her more often in our wine discussions. Sandra is an excellent sommelier and the owner, together with her husband Fabrizio, of the La Nicchia wine […]
