Just a few notes, rounding out a challenging week. On to the good news.
Robt. Parker has shuffled his deck. Pierre Rovani and Daniel Thomases are gone or going. Thomases gave me a whole new appreciation for Robert Parker, relative to Italian wine. Another story for another time.
Next, a good review for a wine that I like a lot, as does my buddy, Guy Stout.
Soletta Vermentino, reviewed by Rebecca Murphy of the Dallas Morning News.
Italians Insight, also has some kind words about the wine.
Soletta Winery in Sardegna (Flash-free)
Good stuff , Maynard…
The Texas Sommelier Conference will be happening this weekend in Dallas. Looks like it is Sold Out.
The two young guys in the middle are responsible. Drew Hendricks and James Tidwell.
Restaurant week ( now 3 weeks long) is almost over. One restaurateur, Adelmo Banchetti, can hardly wait.
And Felice Pastore, too, though he is in the luxury side of the biz.
Hank’s Corvette is finally restored. Hey Hank, when are you gonna take me for a ride in it?
I like this picture, but I kinda like forks.
Monday, escape to NY. Nebbiolo matriculation. It's all legal. And sanctioned.
And then we gotta figure out what to do with all these new wines.
