SLOW WINE NEW YORK 2018
EATALY DOWNTOWN
.BORGOGNO
Long One of The World's Great BAROLO HOUSES
They Did Not Disappoint
Antica Casa Scarpa
The House of ANTICA CASA SCARPA was for me the overall winner as far as having the Best Selection on their table. It was Amazing, starting with : Barbera d Asti "La Bogliona" , a wonderful Brachetto Secco (Dry Brachetto) and the undisputed Winner of The Event, The Barbaresco Casa Scarpa 1989 was Kick Ass and probably the Best Wine I've Had so far this year (2018). I really enjoyed the tasting at this table, it was superb.
