Memorial day dead soldier! Part of the first salvo! — 11 years ago
Clean bouquet and opening salvo of flavor => develops gradually into softer honey and then minerality softened by a vegetal afternote-- wood? Or nuts? Very faint at end. Light, but good medium length linger. Wouldpair well with fish & lighter foods — 10 years ago

Tasting with Salvo Tomasi (who I once met as my tour guide in COS Vittoria, Sicily); at #gamberorossoworldtour in Sydney Town Hall; here he represents #veneto with Cantina Negrar San Rocco 2008 bottling, single vineyard Amarone della Valpolicella; and heavily represented at this tasting; — 10 years ago
Salvo Foti. Had a much easier time finding this in NYC than I did in Sicily. — 11 years ago

Joe Goddard bought a bunch of wine for my birthday and we drank it on the bus. Absolutely did not need to have anything more after that initial salvo but bowing to his greater wisdom I accepted a few plastic cups of this shochu which was very nice from what I remember. Joe may have misjudged his own prescription however as there were some rumours of "bunk sickness", so far unconfirmed. As Paracelsus would say, "the poison is the dose". — 10 years ago
