Hello,Lo these many moons. Long time no see-um. A few years ago my ISP decided I did not need connection to the User Groups, and discontinued the service. Some attempts at using other means proved fruitless, then other things took over. Nevertheless, I'm back - a short roll call shows the presence of the usual suspects still posting ... During my absence I have passed a few exams in the Swedish tasting group "Munskänkarna" (The Tastevins in Frenglish) and am a sometime lecturer there. I continue to be predominantly Franco/Italophile but have developed a love for NZ and Hunter Valley Semillon. Enough sentimental waffling already.

Hello Nils, welcome back. I have always enjoyed visiting with Paolo DeMarchi of Isole e Olena. I'm not a huge fan of the Chianti but Ireally like his 100% Sangiovese "Cepperello" and they make a very goodVin Santo. Paolo has some interesting views on the current state ofClassico and isn't shy about sharing them.

Chianti Classico, whom to visit?

I supposed you will mention I Botri. Imho good in some vintage, so and so other times. Not very constant quality. Luk

Does anybody know if it is worthwhile to visit Ricasoli, or has that become a monument? //Nils
