A Taster's Journey is a newsletter on food, wine and travel. After 15 years of studying, tasting, teaching, and selling wine, I created this newsletter to not only share my passion about wine, but of food and travel as well. Each month I hope to share wines that I am drinking, food that is in season, restaurants that I have enjoyed, and places I have traveled. Enjoy!"

The Wine Cellar

October 1st, 2003

Everyone enjoys a good $10 bottle of wine, but sometimes you want something special. Here is what I am adding to my cellar today:

1997 Brunello di Montalcino
The best vintage since 1990, and there are still some left. Costanti, Il Poggione, Pertimali & Poggio Antico are some of the best.
1996 Bordeaux
2000 is the “great” vintage, but extremely expensive. The ‘96 was a very good vintage and has recently been seen on sale. Ch. Lynch Bages, Ch. Leoville Barton, Ch. Grand Puy Lacoste & Ch. Leoville Poyferre are all outstanding.
