North east Italy is a hidden gem for wines.
Right up against the Dolmite Mountains, warm days, cool nights.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige really deliver.
Foradori, Franz Haas and Alois Lageder
are producers I look for.

Totally agree Jamie. I generally love cooler climate wines. In Italy the Valle d’Aosta is another example next to the Swiss Alps in the north west.

Absolutely.
Pinot Nero…(Pinot Noir) .. from Lombardy will impress you.

Thanks for posting @Bob McDonald. Curious about this vintage of Mouton and in my case, I have a younger brother born this year. I’m ‘82.

Kudos to both of them. Leaving your roots behind and traveling half way around the world isn’t easy, but their personal growth is priceless. Since I’m in NYC, I hope I get to tip a glass with your son.
