Have had several lower priced ($12-20 range) Barolo’s and have never been disappointed.

I always order them on wine lists in restaurants and I have had 2 of the ones you tasted today but I don’t buy them to own as I would have to drink them by myself and the cost is a lot for 1-2 glasses.

Cut GV some slack Kahuna; he just got over being sick and the Sunday Jets game probably didn’t help his recovery any. This Sunday won’t be any better.

Gary, thanks again for Facebook birthday wishes.

QOTD: Nope…I’ve never heard of Barolo wine before. It will certainly be the next type of wine I pick up next time I’m at the store!

Same thing with Dolcetto – never heard of it before until one episode….now I can’t get enough of it.
BF

QOTD: only had one barolo. It was $20 by the glass at Rao’s restaurant (Caesars Palace, Vegas) and I thought, what the hell. It was truly awesome and worth the price.
