Chris Thile of the Punch Brothers band is a serious Nebbiolo lover. We organized this dinner after their brilliant concert at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy, NY.

What a glorious experience. I have been fortunate to have many wonderful wine dinners, but this one was extra special because we enjoyed their great music, then broke bread and shared wine. Very, very special.

Pop and pour. A lovely, lightly sparkling wine. A perfect start to the evening. Easy to drink. Well-balanced.
