"Good wine needs no bush."

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 great producers on the table at once for $375! The 1997 Conterno Monfortino Barolo sells for close to $2000 a bottle!… 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.
The fee for this event, which includes dinner is $375 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.

A brief History of Barbaresco
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.
