Excellent addition to the veal pasta tonight at Bottega. Ordered a bottle for myself and the 4 girls with me and drank the majority to myself. Win-win-win-win. — 10 years ago

Very nice. 2010 was a good year. But not as good as 1995, when I proposed to Shannon at Bottega. — 9 years ago

Good with lamb, had at Bottega in Yountville. Good bite and smokiness. Paired well with juicy and sweet meats. — 11 years ago
Big, big Petite Syrah! Loads of dark fruit and tannins. Really opened up after an hour in a decanter. Paired perfectly with brined, cold-smoked then petite Syrah braised beef short ribs ala Michael Chiarello Bottega style over polenta. This was a fun wine find while tasting Odette Cabernet. — 9 years ago
This is the Bottega Valdobbiadene Proseco I mentioned in my earlier post. I had a glass of this at Tavernetta del Battistero Ristorante. Apparently, this Proseco you cannot find/buy in any local shops. According to the manager, it can only be purchased from the winery in a region north of Florence and he buys 50 cases of it at a time. Delicious. Might go back to buy a whole bottle before we leave. — 10 years ago
This was an amazing bottle of sparkling wine from Italy. Had a darker red color. — 10 years ago
