I think this will be the 4th Tre Bicchieri tasting I have a chance to attend.
Tre Bicchieri (3 Glasses) showcases the best Italian wines of the moments as selected yearly by Gambero Rosso.
The Tre Bicchieri 2011 tour of the US makes 3 stops.
First one is in San Francisco on February 16 at Fort Mason with both a Press/Media introduction followed by Trade and Media (General Tasting).
As usual I will be at the New York event on February 18.
3rd stage (if it was the Giro) is in Chicago on February 22, 2011.
All wine lovers can purchase Vini d'Italia 2011, a wine guide that includes all the top awards (Tre Bicchieri) and more.
A new section highlights Tre Bicchieri under 15 euros, 52 of them, "discovered among the top-ranking labels in our guide. From Alto Adige to Sicily."
Included are the following:
A. A. Valle Isarco Veltliner 2009
Strasserhof – Hannes Baumgartner
A. A. Valle Isarco Veltliner 2009
Kuenhof – Peter Pliger
