Certainly not Matt. It looks like a definition cobbled together by a committee. What happened to provenance?…DG

A lot of competition for this crown Joe but Barolo is always among the most beautiful. It helps that the wines are brilliant and the food is outstanding...DG

Barolo is the most beautiful vineyard area in the world. I will brook no dissent

Not a bad lunch to celebrate the beginning of the end of lockdown. 99 La Tache was effortlessly brilliant. DG
