| | IMBIBE NEW YORK MAY 26, 2010 Dinner with Chiara The other week, I had dinner with the lovely Chiara Lungarotti and Frank de Falco, at Felidia Ristorante–home of the Wine Media Guild Luncheons–on the Upper East Side.

VIGNA UVA VINO | FRIDAY, MAY 28, 2010  Navarro Correas Coleccion Privada Malbec 2008 Argentina

The complex palate continues toward red fruits, white pepper, and a nicely textured and vegetal edge. MORE >> -
