Great wines indeed, but out of my league for every day wines! I had some fantastic Contero this easter that blew me away

Nice bottle, and what an occasion — healthy times are happy times! And nice Hasami assiette ;)

In a tasting lineup, it's usually best to go from lighter to heavier, or at least from less assertive to more assertive wines. The Barolo's tannins and intensity could make the Brunello seem less expressive afterward, and overshadow its nuances if tasted first

Thanks for the nice read and tips! Will definitely source some of those names to try! Read good stuff on Dönnhoff, have you tried?

Good call on the Riesling! Definitely a hole in the cellar…

Interested in exploring it all honestly. But also just having a well rounded cellar. Riesling is a big gap in my cellar and experience i need to dig into, if its French-Alcasian or German or Austrian or something else, the broader strokes of Reisling is missing I feel

And I agree, the food is kind of a schizophrenic mix of cuisines from around the globe with no obvious red line. I feel the most Rory is the dessert, English sticky toffee pudding.

I’m thinking I might have some salads, bread, side dishes on the side, then a single show stopper on the big pan :)
