I think he is talking about Bruno Balalaika, leading zithermaster of the
East Ramsey (New Jersey) Orchestra and Klezmer Band-I highly recommend his solo version of the Third Man theme with a barrel fermented ugni blanc..... -- Joe "Beppe" Rosenberg "Chris Lake" > wrote in message ... > > "Dale Williams" > wrote in message > ... > > >Sorry about asking, but what is Bruno ?

Sorry,
I just figured those subscribed to a wine newsgroup would know what I meant. I am refering to probably the most famous Italian Red on the planet, Brunello di Montalcino. I was curious if anyone had the opportunity to taste a good one, yet. (98) I heard they blow away 97, which was pretty hard to do. ciao!

And then there's Bruno di Alfonso - the winemaker for Sanford, who has some Italian varietals he's bottled under his own name. I haven't tried his Pinot Grigio, but his Sangiovese is the best I've tasted from California so far. Tom S |

There is also Bruno Sorg in Eguisheim, excellent small producer (GC Eichberg
and Pfirsigberg). Particularly his Riesling are wonderful. Cheers! Nils Gsutaf -- Respond to nils dot lindgren at drchips dot se |

In my country I haver /never/ heard Brunellos mentioned as bruno's. > I am refering to probably the most famous Italian Red on the planet, > Brunello di Montalcino. I would say that it ranks below Barolo, Chianti and Amarone when it comes to famousness. > I was curious if anyone had the opportunity to taste a good one, yet. > (98) I heard they blow away 97, which was pretty hard to do. Is the 98 on the market yet? I thought the Brunnellos 98 would be released in nov. regards Jan |

We are all entitled to our own opinions. After living in Italy for some time, and tasting just about every one of their wines and reading and studying for years about them, I think I can say I know what I am talking about when it comes to Brunello and other Italian wines. Anyone who is remotely familiar with the wines coming out of Chianti region knows Bruno is superior. As far as ranking, Brunello, Barolo and Amarone are completely different wines which all posess their own unique qualities that make them superior in each of their regions (Chianti, Piemonte, Veneto) the 98's were released sometime right after this past summer. r/ marco "Jan Bøgh" <jan@boegh-dot-net> wrote in message ... > "Marco" > wrote in message > > > > I just figured those subscribed to a wine newsgroup would know what I > > meant. > > LOL > > After a very long discussion about what was ment, when someone wrote Venice > You think this would be obvious! > In my country I haver /never/ heard Brunellos mentioned as bruno's. > > > I am refering to probably the most famous Italian Red on the planet, > > Brunello di Montalcino. > > I would say that it ranks below Barolo, Chianti and Amarone when it comes to > famousness. > > > I was curious if anyone had the opportunity to taste a good one, yet. > > (98) I heard they blow away 97, which was pretty hard to do. > > Is the 98 on the market yet?

Anyone who is remotely familiar with the wines >coming out of Chianti region knows Bruno is superior. > I thought myself remotely familar, but I guess not (I've also never heard anyone refer to Brunello di Montalcino as Bruno before now). I think of Chianti and Brunello as different, w/o one neccessarily being superior to the other. Though Brunellos tend to be more expensive than Chianti (excluding the Castello di Amas and the like).In general I think once you figure in price/value the Chianti might have the edge. I have some Brunello cellared, but I have Chianti too. A wine like the Felsina Rancia CCR in a good vintage can be more exciting than 90% of Brunellos. >As far as ranking, Brunello, Barolo and Amarone are completely different >wines which all posess their own unique >qualities that make them superior in each of their regions (Chianti, >Piemonte, Veneto) > Chianti and Montalcino are both located in the region of Tuscany. .. >the 98's were released sometime right after this past summer. That's right. I've posted some notes here re 1998 Brunellos (Brunelli, if you prefer), mostly from pre-release tasting this spring. I think the best I've had were the Caparzo and Uccelliera. Although I bought some 97s, I think mostly I'm in market currently for '95s. Some reduced prices (due to '97 hype) on what to my tastes is a more classical, structured vintage than the sometimes overripe '97s. Based on other '99 Tuscans, the '99 Brunello vintage might be interesting. Speaking of '99 Tuscans, anyone in NY might be interested- Rochambeau is having a Supertuscan sale. Mostly too expensive for me, but the excellent '99 Terrabianca Campaccio is $24. Nice Sangiovese that tastes like Tuscany (as opposed to some SuperTuscans that taste like Napa!).

That's a good point, Dale. Comparing most Chiantis to Rossos di Montalcino would be more fair, wouldn't you say? I have some Brunello cellared, but I have Chianti > too. A wine like the Felsina Rancia CCR in a good vintage can be more exciting > than 90% of Brunellos. Felsina Rancia is a personal favorite. Unfortunately, it's as expensive as many Brunellos. :^( BTW, while we're on Italian wines, Costco has the 1998 and 1999 Zonchera Barolo for just under $30. I've tried both and prefer the 1998 right now, but the 1999 would be nice to lay down for ten years or so. The 1998 is elegant and fragrant with cigarbox notes and that unmistakable aroma that proclaims it as Italian. The 1999 isn't as accessible right now, but may actually be a better wine than the 1998 when it reaches maturity. Tom S |
