My favorite wines from the Gambero Rosso tasting on February 28, 2020.
I love James Suckling’s winetastings in New York.
This is my fifth year joining the tasting that comes complete with a DJ.
The tasting features Italian wines rated from 90-100 points.
While we weren’t in our usual location, the IAC Building, because the IAC was Coronavirus shy (the tasting features a large contingent of winemakers from Italy which is currently a Coronavirus hotspot), I enjoyed our time in the Altman Building but look forward to returning to the IAC for the Wines of South America tasting in the fall.
Below are some of the wines I enjoyed over the evening during the March 4, 2020 winetasting.
