Wine Memories


Each summer many of us come back from vacation with lasting wine memories. This is one of those for me, a wine I've not had before, a Friulano from Vini Crastin. I've never seen this label in the States. God knows we need more good Friulano in this country.

This particular bottle had a little bit of age on it, a 2008 I noticed on the label. The sommelier/proprietor of the ostaria said he kept it for another two years or so as he didn't think it was ready on release. Judging from this bottle, I can't disagree. It was fresh, bright, and aromatic. As lovely as the day.
