@Shoshi Well I’m waiting! Always fun with you 🍷

@TheWiningHour It's always so good to see you!!! And yes I'm coming to Long Island.

@TheWiningHour I just saw your ass across a crowd, where did you go?

@JohnMFodera That one was a 2019, and it was fantastic.

@TheWiningHour I was really looking forward to trying San Gugliemo. I had emailed them a while back about bringing the Tour Groups there because a Montalcinese suggested I check it out. Oh well....

@JohnMFodera I enjoyed these..amongst others

@JohnMFodera I barely made it myself, because trains from Long Island were suspended. But back in Business just in time! It was surprisingly pretty well attended and very nice.

@JohnMFodera I sent you a message

@TheWiningHour Was it crowded? Was it good??

@JohnMFodera The weather was definitely a hindrance for a lot of people…including some producers.

@TheWiningHour No! I was supposed to fly up yesterday and the weather took care of that. I tried and tried to get another flight but there is nothing. So bummed to miss it.

@JohnMFodera Are you here? Can’t find you. Lol

Definitely. I knew 3 years ago listening to winemakers that this vintage would be special. That’s not new I suppose :) I discount all of the 100 point ratings I’m seeing a bit and see no need for pre-arrival buying, but I am curious too taste it for sure. Of 2020-2022 this is clearly the best. I sense it’s a hybrid of 19 and 20 but that’s anecdotal and based on the few tastings I’ve done.

@Shoshi Yeasss I’m here! lol downstairs right now

@JohnMFodera Can’t wait!

@JohnMFodera See you there? I’m looking forward to tasting through this vintage.

@TheWiningHour Hey Li, any chance you’ll be at Benvenuto?
