Vintage Piedmont Wine Tasting Back to 1969 Friday, October 24th 7:30pm and all the Barbaresco in the store on SALE!!
“I would like a wine. The purpose of the wine is to get me drunk. A bad wine will get me as drunk as a good wine. I would like the good wine. And since the result is the same no matter which wine I drink, I’d like to pay the bad wine price.”
Steve Martin - Comedian, writer, actor, banjo player
And those of you that know me understand why we are having another vintage Piedmont wine. Nebbiolo is my favorite grape varietal and Barolo and Barbaresco are 100% Nebbiolo!
Barbaresco and Barolo are two of the world’s most age worthy wines, but there is very little of these older vintage wines available on the open market today. I like to compare these Italian treasures to the great wines of Burgundy, another region that has to deal with harsh conditions with a varietal that is very finicky. Nebbiolo like Pinot Noir only produces great wines in the a few areas of the world.
These old wines are in excellent condition and to have this many 30+ year old wines for $295… did I mention this includes dinner? How can we afford to do this?? Is Wine Watch a non-profit organization doing scientific research with wine??? Don’t ask just e-mail, call, or run to the store to make a reservation for this event, this tasting is limited to 14 tasters.
For those of you that can’t make the tasting I have included all the Barbaresco in the store on SALE!!
The fee for this event, which includes dinner is $295 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com. Let us know when you make your reservations if you have any allergies of food aversions and chefs Toni and Dani will be happy to accommodate you.

All the Barbaresco in the store on SALE!!
Barbaresco is a red wine produced in northwest Italy’s Piedmont region. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, like its Barolo counterpart, is a highly tannic and acidic wine that needs years of cellaring to reach harmony. Prior to being released in the market, DOCG regulations require that the wines are aged for a minimum of 26 months, with at least 9 months spent in wood barrels; for the riserva bottlings, there is a mandated period of 50 months aging, with at least 9 months spent in wood barrels. Although Barbaresco and Barolo have much in common, traditionally Barbaresco tends to express a more feminine side, while Barolo is characterized as masculine and stately—but certainly exceptions exist. Expressive aromatically, scents of dried cherry, raspberry, licorice and rose petals are typical of the wine.
