    I have never had a Barolo, would be very interested in trying…sounds like a NYE kind of wine.

  • Carlo

    My only experience with Barolo was when I got the chance to taste a Ceretto Barolo and Barbaresco at a wine event here in HK.

    Great episode! Barolo became my favorite wine about the time the 1995’s were released. QOTD: My favorite Barolo is Bruno Giacosa, but there are many more that I love, such as Ceretto, Conterno Fantino, Pio Cesare, and Sandrone. I like the “traditionalist” style the best, but don’t have a serious objection to the “part traditionalist/part modernist” style. However, I do not like to smell or taste obvious oak in Barolo.

    I’ve had some Barolo’s over the years…none of which I can honestly say I remember any specifics about. But…because of the higher price for a good barolo….your show is the savior! Yes, I want to try a GOOD Barolo, but, like many others, I don;t want to simply roll the dice!! Thanks for providing some info on some good ones!!

  • QOTD: YES! An absolutely fantastic wine. How about a show on Super Piedmonts? Have heard a little, but not very much about these relatively new wines. Keep it up, Gary! Love the show.

    QOTD- I am doing my best to drink a lot of wine to get up to speed (the journey is fun) but I have never had a Barolo. I think it may be my Christmas present to myself.

    QOTD: Last night I went to wine dinner featuring Vietti wines. Had a 2004 Barolo that was really good. I actually liked the Barbera they make from the Barolo region just as much, and it costs 1/3 as much.

  • Antonio

    I have not tried, but my in-laws are taking the boys out this weekend. So we might give this a shot…

    Thanks for the show

    Never could afford good Barolo in the US, but tasted several on a trip through Piedmont, fell in love with it. Would love to find the 2000 Oberto, but no one in NOVA carries it
