Tre Bicchieri 2015

 

 Tre Bicchieri is Gambero Rosso's annual Wine Tasting, where they show wine that got the "Tre Bicchieri" that year. Tre Bicchieri is the highest award. 
I went last year, but this year it was much better. Probably because I knew more about wine and I knew more people. And of course, Luca Currado was here this time!

Luca Currado, the winemaker of Vietti, won the Wine of the Year from Gambero Rosso, and so he was there this year. As you may know, I have worked for Vietti two summers in a row, and so it felt natural to help out. I spent the majority of the event behind the table, helping to pour the wine while telling the people about it. Luca brought with him the 2011 Barolo Castiglione, 2011 Barolo Brunate and of course the 2007 Villero, which was the Wine of the Year. You can read more about the Villero on the Vietti Website.

Although I spent most of my time behind the Vietti table, I also got to taste some wine. Among the wines I tasted was the Oddero Barolo. I was sad that Isobel was not there, but maybe I'll get to meet her next time!

Conterno at La Pizza Fresca

La Pizza Fresca is hosting yet another winemaker from the Barolo region. This time Roberto Conterno with Giacomo Conterno will be joining them, hosting a tasting of his Barolo's. 
The wines include his Barbera Ceretta and a Barolo Cascina Francia 1993. 

As last time, there will be a choice of 4 course or 5 course dinner. The 4 course dinner features 6 wines, and the 5 course features 10 wines.
