Who & Why

Find out who we are and why we do this: About us

We have Avignonesi & Capannelle, Clos Du Marquis and Giacomo Borgogno.

We normally drink Barbera d'Asti or Barbera d'Alba. However, there is also a very interesting sub-zone of Barbera d'Asti, Nizza DOCG, which has existed since 2014. The wines are 100% Barbera.

There is the best of Moscato d'Asti and a recent vintage of Barbaresco Sori Paitin. Moscato d'Asti has low alcohol, usually between 4.5% and 5.5% ABV, and lots of fruit and freshness. Perfect in summer on the terrace!

We have 2018 Pinot Noir Occidental Station Vineyard and 2016 Arneis Sette Anni.

For us, the old Gaja wines, which were produced by the father, are much more interesting than the modern wines. Great vintages are 1961, 1964 and 1971.

The 2020 vintage seems to be a very fruity vintage, with great aromas, very fine tannins, but a little less density and power. You don't have to buy the most expensive wines to have great pleasure. We tried some wines from Vajra and Baudana under € 70.-, here are our favorites. For comparison, there is a slightly mature Barolo Riserva from Accomasso.

2014 was a difficult vintage, but the top producers have once again made great Barolo.

We have Barolo from the two Conterno brothers, one modern and one traditional.

Due to vacation and illness it took a little longer this time, but now there is a new tasting. Here we have only great wines with 18/20 points or more.

Let's go with Spumante from Piedmont, St. Joseph from the Rhone and a Spätlese from the Nahe.

This time we have Champagne, Barbera from Piedmont, a Pomerol, a Port Epigone from South Africa and a fortified wine from Australia.

We have a very rare wine from the Montmartre vineyard in Paris and a sensational Barolo Cerequio 2016.

Today there is one Merlot from the Napa Valley and two Barolo.

Here we have a Gattinara from 1961.

There is a Chardonnay from Kistler this time, as well as 2 great Barolo.

Moscato d'Asti doesn't hold up? Merlot only produces simple, fruity wines? It's time to put an end to these prejudices.

This time we have two Barolo from Conterno-Fantino from the 2019 vintage and as a reference the Sandrone 2019 Barolo Le Vigne.

We taste Barolo 2019 from Sandrone and Altare, Gattinara from Nervi and a Pinot Noir from Friedrich Becker.

Here we have vintages 1947, 1995, 2015 and 2016.

Here we have a Barolo Le Vigne from the excellent 2013 vintage.

1997 was a great vintage, but also a hot one. Not all Nebbiolo have held up well.

We have from Juris 2007 Pinot Noir different vineyards and a 2016 Barolo Cannubi.

There is a Brunello Cerretalto and Barolo from the great 2016 and 2019 vintages. The new Barolo vintages have such perfect tannins that they can be drunk with pleasure even young.

Riesling, White Rioja and Fortified are degustated this time.

Today we taste a Belle Epoque as well as Nebbiolo from the 2019 vintage.

There are Freisa and Verduno Perlaverga.

This time we have Switzerland, Rhone and Piedmont.

Wines are from Alphone Mellot, Francois Villard, Charles Joguet, Bartolo Mascarello and Conterno-Fantino.

We have a young Pinot Noir and a mature Barbaresco Riserva.

Today there are 3 different top Barolo from 3 different vintages.

Today we have some bottle that I brought back from Italy in May.
