Barolo Serralunga Principiano It has been a bit of time since i last posted here. Ive been very busy, with work and two new studies i am undertaking wset level 3 and court of master sommeliers and I'm trying to understand the way the english taste wine and reasonable gives them an identity..with just two books they want to make you understand which is old world, which is new world, which has minerality and which doesn't have minerality and blah blah blah.  So this is what i have been doing in the last couple of months, studying..will i get through? who knows.. In all my blind tasting i got - Malbec from Argentina, a Pinot Noir from Martinborough NZ, a champagne from Reims and in the same time i picked a Chenin Blanc from Loire and it was a Chablis, a Gamay and it was a St Joseph. I confused a Sangiovese for a Shiraz and a Sancerre for a Chardonnay.  I think i am not a great blind taster.. But last night i had this beautiful Barolo from Serralunga by Ferdinando Princi
