Clear Lake on SnoothJanuary 2017
Amore, you sure like those Italian wines. I would say that one is about empty...Today we dined in two places, well three actually. It all started at noon when we drove into Washington DC to see Swan Lake (ballet) at The Kennedy Center.

Lucky you. I was just there... Piedmont is pretty stretched out. If you want to be in Barolo/Barbaresco country, I stayed at a really nice agriturismo (read: Bed and Breakfast) in Castiglione Falletto called Tenuta Montanello. It's a working winery, although not one of the stars. But the hosts are extremely nice and it's quite reasonable. I... Read More
