Just arrived in the village of #Mamoiada in #Sardinia and found this to shoot #hoops on street. #basketball

#Lunch in #Mamoiada in #Sardinia right now. Ready! #roast #barbecue

I have never seen someone open a bottle of wine with a hand knife but this wine producer in the village of #Mamoiada in #Sardinia did it with skill. Everyone at the lunch yesterday seemed to be brandishing knives. What an amazing place deep in history and character.

Quick #dinner at home with Marie after a few days in #Sardinia. Excellent bottle of 2019 #Brunello to reset.

Just another lunch at home in #Tuscany with a crisp, fruity and salty white from #Sicily near the town of Pacino and made from the grape called #grillo. #wine #vino #italianwine

This is how you feel when you find an old bottle in your cellar and it’s awesome and you didn’t expect a lot! A blend of #Sangiovese and #CabernetSauvignon, this is 1995 #Corbaia from #ChiantiClassico. Hanging in my dinning room with Marie. Xo #italy

Great to be back in #Barolo for a few days! #piemonte #italy #wine

Great energy to be with the #Gaja today in #Barbaresco. Their 2021 Barbarescos are sleek and beautifully structured, cool and different from the openly fruity and delicious 2020s. #nebbiolo #wine #italy

My wife Marie was ready for a road trip to #Langhe yesterday morning. 😎 #italy #roadtrip

Drank these with friends tonight in Monforte d’Alba for #ferragosto. #tantiauguri #italy #love #wine

Always special to be with dear Bruna Giacosa and talk and taste her new wines. Beautiful day. #BrunoGiacosa #Barolos and #Babarescos are true benchmarks for fine wine.

Nice to be with the #Boffa family of @piocesare1881 last night at their home in Trieso in the region of #Barbaresco. Tasted a preview of their 2021 #Barolos and #Barbarescos and they show more structure and tannins than their excellent 2020s. March 2025 release.

My collaboration with LALIQUE, the world famous French crystal maker, began over 10 years ago with a shared love for wine and design, resulting in the creation of the universal ‘100 Points’ glass. Beautifully frosted and perfectly functional, it is the ultimate wine glass.

I designed my 100 Points #crystal collection over ten years ago with the world-famous French crystal maker LALIQUE's artistic and creative director, Marc Larminaux. These stunning crystalwares are among Lalique's bestsellers and they remain a benchmark for fine crystal glass.

Arrived in #SanlúcardeBarrameda and had to have a few glasses of #Manzanilla en Rama in a casual bar - Tapas Javi. #spain #tapas

My wife Marie and I had to take this photo with the joy of being together in Sanlúcar de Barrameda and tasting/drinking #manzanilla and other bottles! #spain

Featuring the unique frosted rib stem, my 100 Points collection was created in 2016 with French crystal maker LALIQUE. It has grown from a single universal glass to 15 designs. Wine isn’t just about smelling, tasting, or seeing - these also integrate the sense of touch.

Palomino fermenting in old botas at Bodegas Valdespino in Jerez, Spain. Turn up the volume and listen closely! #jerez #spain #palomino #sherry #fermentation #winemaking #wine

It’s hard to believe that my career as a #journalist started back in the late 1970s as a daily journalist in Utah during university and these two pieces of equipment were state-of-the-art! Found them in Jerez, #Spain. The line was not connected. I would have phoned in a story.

Let the #tasting and #party begin! Great Wines Italy NYC.
