I have added a bonus bottle (see below). Just in case one of our older bottles is off.
If you reserve a seat, and you cancel within two weeks of the tasting, you will still be responsible for the cost. Unless we have people on the wait list, who can take your place.
Can you tell the difference between a Barolo and a Barbaresco? (Watch the film clip.)

Barolo's are known for there longevity. Let's try a 52 year old Riserva.
A 1967 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva.
92 points James Suckling : This was a fascinating old wine still holding its own. It came from an old cellar and was drunk with company in Hong Kong. It showed dried tobacco and cedar along with dried fruits. On the palate, it was full-bodied and velvety. A great offering for such an old Barolo. (5/2015)
Do Barbaresco's last as long? Let's try a 45 year old sample.
