Mark Gasbarro hosted yet another blockbuster tasting this past Monday at Gasbarros Fine Wines, on Atwells Avenue in Providence, RI. Riccardo Sgarra, Brand Ambassador for Paolo Scavino presented nine wines, including five different Barolos. Surprisingly it was lightly attended. This was great for me, but very confusing.

Here we have two wines from Dark Horse Wines in Modesto, California. We must have seen a bazillion commercials over the past few months with winemaker Beth Liston.

Recently we ran Continue reading Review of Dark Horse 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2015 Sauvignon Blanc Please follow and like us:
