Wine pricing is an art - like painting.

My grandparents in Istria had a frasca, which is about the most basic kind of grocery/restaurant. They sold wine from their own vineyard. I took control of the vineyard, hired a local winemaker, and bought another winery in 1996. We had our first commercial vintage in 1998.

I'm a baritone. Baritones don't mature until late.

The stories of wine lords who trade wine on intimidation or food critics who trade free meals for reviews those are the stories of my life. I am telling the stories of my life in a true way.

Pasta is the one food I can't live without. It's the food I eat to fuel my running.

At home, I make a large batch of tomato sauce and freeze it in meal-size portions in freezer bags.

I definitely invented the everything bagel. There's no doubt. It's undeniable truth. It's one of those things that's 100% true, 50% of the time.
