| Introduction | I've been interested in Italian wines for many years, particularly Piemonte. Studied music in Torino back in the days, and through the years Langhe has become almost like home. Also, in Berlin it`s hard not to become a Riesling fanatic:) But that said, I`m curious about all countries and styles of vino.. (I would like to post on the blog more regularly, but unfortunately because of work, there`s periods that I simply don´t have the time. So this blog may look at times a bit silent) |
