Real world, real Italy, real wines. Adonna Imports and ontological enology
April 4, 2012 § 2 Comments
Sometimes wine writing is best when the tone is dispassionate and clear-eyed. Sometimes it’s best when it’s skewed toward bombs-away passion for something and/or someone utterly deserving. My column in this week’s Portland Press Herald is in the latter camp; you be the judge as to its efficacy. Then drink these wines and judge its accuracy! Adonna’s Jeannie Rogers is the sort of person and wine importer the world could use more of. I’d link to her website but there isn’t any. I’d hashtag the hell out of the wines but the winemakers are too small and old-world to have Twitter accounts. All the more reason to fall head over heals for them, and gain new appreciation for how many other things you do with your life are a relative waste of energy.
Grazie Joel for this post. I’m the producer of Bellone and Nero Buono “Cincinnato” and I really appreciate your words and Adonna work and dedication. They are so passionate that it’s lovely to cooperate with them!
Grazie a lei, Giovanna. Beautiful wines!
