Maialino, Gramercy Park Hotel, NYC
Tasted Friday, October 14, 2011 by kenv with 631 views
Tom organized this event around a trip he made to NYC. Tom generously brought the 78 and 89 Riondas. Dan and I filled in with the 82 and 90, resp. Tom also set up the meal with Maialino, which is highly recommended, esp. with mature Barolo! There was also an Aldo Conterno Cicala which was totally corked.

With Grande Selezione di Salumi: Prosciutto di Parma (Emilia-Romagna), Mortadella (Maialino, NY), Felino (San Francisco, CA), Finocchiona (San Francisco, CA), Soppressata Piccante (Long Island City, NY).
Four of the five ever made (no one had the 1967 to bring). With a variety of wonderful appetizers and pasta dishes.
With a variety of terrific main courses.
The four Rionda Riservas once again shined. The Cappellano and the Rocche more than held their own, and the Monprivato was great.

[Jamie says it's from the 1999-2001 vintages.] Very tasty and toasty. A very good and flavorful Blanc de Blancs.
