Just came back from a holiday in Tuscany. By accident we had lunch at the osteria at Casa Emma. Had the Casa Emma ’09 (so not the riserva) and thought it was a pretty straight forward wine. Can’t say about the riserva however

    Gary…When are you going to have a “Live” show? And by “Live” I mean with a live “Audience”…Set-up some bleachers and do your thing in front of a live audience…Even if you “Tape” the show in front of a live audience…It would give me a reason to fly up to NJ…(God knows there’s no other reason to visit NJ) Sorry…but it’s true…

    Just something to think about…

    Top 20 is so lame.

    Gary – Great episode. Chianti needed a do-over. Thanks for doing this and sharing the wealth. The wine world is changing.

  • Jahlove

    Gary,

    The link from Wine Library TV to the product page for the 2003 Casa Emma Chianti Classico Riserva that you so raved about is wrong. On the product page, you are advertising the 2003 Classico not the Classico Reserva in your tasting.

    Never mind. It was the hyperlink that has the Reserva in it. In the tasting you correctly identified it as just Classico. Sorry bout that.

    Gary… you know the Chianti in the basket was the only wine my father ever bought. Naturally he was born in Italy! Oh ya.. minor adjustment in the NE cranberry country, just a little further North, in and around Carver,Ma., near Cape Cod. Great show!! You gave me something to do this week; find Casa Emma Chiati Classico.

    Mid-20s rock!
    Great episode

    I picked up some of the Villa Cafaggio from you last year based on a review in Decanter – 5/5 stars:

    Rich, exotic fruit and ripe berry fruit aromas. Classy, fine textured with elegant French oak and austere tannins. Drink 2008-12.

    Thanks for the pointer on Casa Emma

    Wow, Gary! Did you really tape this show today??? After last night on the forums???

    Talk about “bringing the thunder”!!! Bravo, Big Guy!

    And, thanks for giving me some Chianti’s to go after! I’ve been sorely disappointed by all of the low-end, mass-produced ones I’ve tried so far.

  • aktormedic

    nice episode gary…dont drink much Chanti anymore, I’ll have to give it a try again. It was a college STAPLE for me…along with the pasta/pizza.
