@IAPonomarenko It's because we don't want to be involved in a direct shooting war with Russia. There is NO other reason

A new record for me today…. A single customer bought $351,000 of wine. That’s not a typo.

Narrative: Opened this last Thursday. No fruit. Lean body. Not at all enjoyable. Corked it. Stuck it on the kitchen counter. Tonight? An absolutely glorious display of #Barolo . Like 95+ point display. A miraculous wine. Sarmassa rocks! #Tuscanvines

You know, this was my review of this wine almost a year ago. Tonight, it’s better. I’ll review it separately because that’s what it deserves. I’m surprised, but I’m not surprised. This is a masterpiece. #Tuscanvines Roma! – Tignanello 2019

Other than people with negative views of large producers, I don't find this wine controversial simply because it's not organic. I know many amazing wines that are not organic. That doesn't mean they're bad wines and it certainly doesn't mean they don't taste great. Thoughts?…

Really nice to have this with my son, but sort of like an old War Veteran that doesn’t quite fit into his uniform anymore. Still, sentiment more than makes up for the deficiency. Cherries, cocoa, tobacco and acid. Solid. Not exceptional. Drink up! #tuscanvines @MikeyGio85
