2017 Valle d’Aosta Bianco “Petite Arvine”
Château FeuilletI escape to the mountains any chance I get. Breathing in the crisp mountain air and touching the cool granite rocks revitalizes my spirit and helps me to center my mind. All my attempts to bottle that air for enjoyment during a busy week have proved futile—until now. The wines of Château Feuillet are made in the dramatic mountain landscape of the Valle d’Aosta in northwestern Italy. Tucked away in a glacial valley much like Yosemite, the vineyards of Château Feuillet produce an invigorating white wine that quenches my thirst for the mountains.

Italy | Valle d’Aosta
This Traminer Aromatico pays lovely homage to its French cousin, Alsatian Gewurztraminer, but with a Valdostano interpretation.
2022 Valle d’Aosta Torrette
Italy | Valle d’Aosta
May Rouge ~ True to the region, it has exuberant, piquant fruit, both peppery and floral throughout.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:
1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
