What a week!

Visit Indigenous Selections!  Please ask your favorite Texas wine shop about their new selection of wines from Indigenous...

Ahh, a wee bit late posting this, I had to power-down for a few days last week from online activities - much to follow-up on after Giorgio's visit.  Giorgio's presence in the state was bigger than Texas.  We sold wine faster than the Avante warehouse guys could organize the new Indigenous Selections shipments coming in from New Jersey. So fun to sell good wine!

Thanks to all who attended our trade and customer events, the 2. 5 days in the market where filled with admiration, knowledge and magnificent enthusiasm!  Most of all I want to Thank Giorgio Rivetti for his time visiting Texas.  It's not often enough that a true gentlemen like Giorgio spends time in Texas.  It was a true honor to learn from Giorgio. We certainly have the same taste in wine! He was extremly kind and presented me with a bottle of  1999 Bollinger "Grande Année" Brut Champagne for my birthday last Tuesday. I think it was the very last bottle at Pogo's in Dallas too! 

A few photos are now posted on http://www.texacaliwine.com/tcwcphotos.cfm

Hard to say what wines "stood-out" for me, they all had their special place in my mind and heart.  Outstanding Barolo and fantastic Brunello all day long with Giorgio!! However,  I'm very excited about the new wines from La Spinetta's Tuscan property, they are completely new to me and to Texas!

Stay tuned...

I'm very excited to write-up my time with Giorgio Rivetti for all to read!  I learned so much from Giorgio, about his family, his vineyards, his love of fine wine and of course the business of Indigenous Selections and La Spinetta.   More tomorrow  - I'm on the road the rest of the day! 

Here's a sweet-photo, a group of Texas wine collections and one of Texas most loved Sommeliers' D'Lynn Proctor huddled around Giorgio below at Grailey's last night in Dallas.  Cheers - Ali

East End Wines Presents...

Come out to the shop Monday, May 24, from 6 pm to 8 pm and taste the wines of La Spinetta with the owner and winemaker, Giorgio Rivetti!

Giorgio is part of a family-owned initiative at La Spinetta that believes in "making wines with a passion."  The Rivettis and their vineyard family have gained international fame for quality and style using strict vineyard management, low yields, no chemical products, and are currently 75% bio-dynamic.  Spinetta produces wines both from Piedmonte and Tuscany, from which we will have six bottlings to taste this Monday evening, including the 2006 La Spinetta Barbaresco Bordini.  Light snackage will be provided.

Hope to see you there!

Cheers,

Matt and Sam
