On CHIANTI


I’ve just highlight my two favorite Chianti Wines, Chianti Estates, and their owners, ny friends,
Cavalier Luigi Cappellini of Castello Verrazzano, Greve, and Conti Nicola Capponi and his brother Conti Sebastiano Capponi of Villa Calcinaia, Greve, Italy. Both estates produce wonderful Chianti wines, as well as Vinegar, and Olive Oil on their beautiful estates, both in Greve, in the Heart of The Chianti Classico Region.

I am so proud to know these wonderful esteemed wine families of Chianti. Over the years the have welcomed me to their estates, for tasting, luncheons, dinners, and other special events, and have always been gracious and kind, so I would like to go on record here, to thank them. I look forward to more wonderful occasions with Conti Sebastiano Capponi, and Luigi Cappellini, icnluding seeing them at the upcoming Chianti Grand Tasting in New York, this April. We will spend time together, chatting, and drinking their wonderful Chianti Wines, and I will get the latest news of their wines and estates in Greve. Really looking forward to that, as well as tasting all the other great Chianti wine that will be present at the event, including making some new friends. “Can’t wait.”

That’s it for now. Grazie,

Tre Bicchieri New York 2024 Premier Italian Wine Tasting

 


Tre BICCHERI 2024

NEW YORK CITY

Friday – February 23, 2024 NYC




TRE BICCHERI New York

2024


Yes, it’s that time of the year again. “Time for Tre Bicchieri, my favorite time of the Year” Yes Sir, I just Love it. What’s not to Love ? Tasting Italy’s greatest wine ? And seeing all my Italian Friends ! And New York Italian Wine Friends as well. “I Love it” ! Yes it’s my favorite day of the Year, and not just for all the Tasty Italian Wine, but a chance to see and spend time with friends. Especially all my good friends from Italy, who own wonderful Wine Estates all over Italy.

Friends like : Giovanni Folnari (Nozzole Chianti) from Greve, Sebastiano Rosa (Sassicaia & Santadi), Gianpaulo Venica of “Venica” in Friuli, all the Frescobaldi’s of Tuscany, Cavalieri Luigi Cappellini of Castello Verrazzano in Greve, The Conti Capponi – Sebastiano & Nicola of Villa Calcinaia in Greve, and many more. 
Yes, it’s this coming Friday, and I can hardly wait. I’ll taste as many wines as I can, take notes, see friends, ask questions about the wine, and my friends and how they’re doing, and what’s up on their property. I’ll socialize, have a great time, take it all in, summarize, and I;ll reporte back here in a few days, to talk about the wines, the event, which wines I liked best, and “what-not” and I’ll write it all down here for you to read. If you like ? I hope so. 

So come back to this very page on Sunday night, February 25th, and I should have written here by then ? If not, then by Monday for sure. “See you then.”
