My favorite Italian wines are amarone’s and Barolo’s. My most recent favorite was the 2000 Damilano Barolo which I snagged a case for about $30 a bottle!

QOTD: No, never had one. Hopefully I can find a “reasonably priced” one to try.

Great episode, GV! I saw a nebbiolo rose at the store today. Didn’t buy it. Wonder if it could possibly be any good?

QOTD: One of the very first “fine” wines I ever had (about 20 years ago) was a Ceretto barolo and I loved it. I haven’t had all that much barolo in the intervening years but I like it lot when I do get a chance to drink it.

QOTD: O-for-Barolo GV. Never tried one. Will be picking three up later this week to give them a whirl, however.

Never had a barolo. I have 2 in my cellar, a Massolino 2000 (GV rated!) and a Silvio Grasso 1999. One day I’ll get super curious and pop them.

Never had a Barolo, so I do not have a favorite.

Why is it no one ever smells or tastes grapes in a wine????? Kind of makes you wonder about the raspberries, cherries, etc.

QOTD: Never had one… will fix that soon.

I have never had a Barolo. I have the 2000 Oberto Barolo Vigneto Alberella in my shopping cart! We have to try new things. As my mentor [ Gary ] says.

I don’t think I’ve had any Barolo. I have had Nebbiolo, by itself without much time for it to breathe, that was a bad idea. I definitely relate to the idea of not wanting to gamble on a pricey varietal. It’s a catch-22 too because if I do see a cheap one it makes me wary of whether or not it’s any good or a good example of the varietal. I’ll eventually bite the bullet but I still feel like there’s a lot of less expensive wine for me to explore.

Nope, never had one, but I have one in my wine cooler.
Maybe soon 🙂

Way to hit the big leagues. I’m very much lusting after that Cerretto.

QOTD:Haven’t had a favorite yet persay. I really enjoyed the last bottle of Cordero di Montezemolo. But I have yet to find my bliss Barolo.

Nope…Never had the pleasure..

I’ve not had any Barolo, but I’ll be sure and keep an eye out for them at my local shops. Good show.

Great show today, Gary. Very informative, and I always love learning more about wine.

QOTD: No, I have never tried a Barolo yet. However, I very interested after hearing your recommendation.
