I have many friends in NY – perhaps I may be able to organize a dinner there some day.

But as a huge fan of the grape (mine are mostly Barbarescos) this post is fascinating reading. Come do a dinner in NY or Philly and I’ll be there!

Cesare Boschis came to Sydney, Australia a few years ago with a bottle of 1947 Barolo. The wine ha just started to lose colour but had only just started to lose its flavour. I would imagine if store correctly the wine will still be OK.

The Boschis family were the original owners of Borgogno and sold it a few years ago.

Glynis Macri, a friend of Tom’s, also in the wine business.

Thanks- how nice that you wanted to attend – maybe next time.

Your ’64 should be fine for several years. That was another outstanding vintage. Ratti also labeled this as “majestic” and wrote, “full and intense perfume; perhaps just a little too hard, but ideal for long aging.”

Perhaps my friend Charles Scicolone from New York will see this and be able to contribute a thought or two. He is an authority on older Barolo.

I live in Florida but seriously considered jumping on a plane to come up for your dinner. Alas, work got in the way. Thanks for the awesome review of the wines and food, it conveyed a real sense of what it would have been like to be there. I’ll make sure I get your next one on my calendar sooner.
Thanks,
Mark
p.s. I have a ’64 Borgogno Riserva…what are the chances this will hold up as well in 2 years? An outstanding vintage, but similar to the ’61?
