New year, new wine adventures

I have previously shared a sort of wine bucket list, but as it turns out I only checked off 1 out of the 5 items. Thanks to some wonderful friends of mine, I was able to visit with Conterno.

New year, new goals!

In 2019 I want to try a few new things, both restaurants and wineries. Maybe even some new experiences, like hot air ballooning over Barolo or going truffel hunting.

Wineries to try

  • Cappellano
  • F. Rinaldi
  • Giacosa

Restaurants to try

  • La Ciau Del Tornavento
  • Nesto
  • Agnulot
