!st,. yes thanks so much plus the holidays are coming up,.
Great information as always. I love hear the news on wine🍷
The Tenuta Terre nere San Lorenzo sold out in Finland’s alcohol monopoly after Mr. Suckling released his top 100 list. Fortunately all wines from this producer are good. I just hope the reasonable prices of this producer won’t go up as this is my mother’s favourite producer as she loves Etna Rosso and Bianco.
I hope I'll be able to put my hands on a couple of them. Above all, I'd like to try the Etna rosso 😀
Great analysis! I like the approach of including more affordable wines in the list. One can assume that the most expensive wines should make it on the top. If not, they are not worth their price.
Thanks for the video.
Good pronunciation of “Blaufränkisch!” I had a really interesting one upon a visit to Dr. Konstantin Frank’s Winery in the Finger Lakes region recently. I first discovered that varietal while teaching English in Vienna.
