Hello, My friends, the Garage Wine Importers, are on the lookout for a Valpolicella from a small but good producer (15-20 ha). If he/she makes a good Amarone, that is a valuable bonus, but primarily they want a Valpolicella (or a Ripasso). If you know of any producer in the Verona neighbourhood with an interest in exporting to Sweden, please let me know ASAP as I leave for France Thursday.
Reka? Vilco? Luk? Mike? This means YOU!
Cheers

Next weekend there is a IHV gettogether just past Genova... I will not be there but I am thinking on Nov 6 of meeting the whole gang again for the franco-italian winemaker's gig in Fronovo near Parma. Boulard will be there, as well as Ch Ste Anne and others you know Nils...
Here is the follow-up from Aristide:

Luk
Whose name is actually Giampiero...
Ah yes I confirm. And if Vilco is there, certainly accompanied by a Lambrusco, albeit a serious one.
Hello, No sorry, no chance, 6 November I am back at the old grind ... :( gomen nasai We'll start home 2 November, spend a night in Beaune and see good guy Jim Tanner (dinner at Ma Cuisine!), pick up some whites and reds at Coche Bizouard in Meursault (highly recommended BTW), then on to Alsace from which I will have to fly to Barcelona for a business meeting ... argh argh argh ... the complications in the logistics are only overshadowed by the complete and utter dreariness of the affair. Don't even ask me about Hannover.
Cheers

Obviously. I'd bring a bottle of Modo del Moro, in only they would put out the 2001: the 2000 is now sligthly over it's prime. We still have to decide where to eat. Mariella, in not-so-nearby Fragno, offers a wine chart which comes in 6 *thick* books closed in a suitcase, with wonderfully priced jewels. I have never seen, either before or after, a
1993 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Monfortino Riserva sold for 150 euro ;) They are also very good at cooking theyr local black truffle, a little surprise for this area. The downside of this place is the distance: a good 20 minutes by car, while last year's restaurant was just over the corner.
No doubt an infanticide, though ... ;)
