• 1 min read

25 May In the light of the lukewarm consumer response to the 2016 Bordeaux en primeur campaign reported today in our guide to it, we're republishing this guide to another set of fine red wines suitable for ageing. 

11 May This is a guide to all that Walter publishes this year on major tastings of Piemonte wines. His picture is of the Tanaro river that separates Roero from Barolo and Barbaresco as seen from the tower of Barbaresco where his very special tasting of Barbarescos took place.
