Recommended CT User to Follow for Italian Wines - 7/13/2023 10:14:02 PM

Status: offline 		Hello! I am new to Cellar Tracker within the last few months, and I am starting to explore some of the additional ways I can use it: for example, figuring out which wines I want to buy next or when to open the wines I have in my cellar.

While the largest number of bottles in my cellar are from Bordeaux, the next largest number are from Tuscany (followed by Piemonte). For the Bordeaux, I have been able to find a couple prolific Bordeaux-loving CT users whose tasting notes are informative and whose preferences mesh with my palate. However I haven't yet found anyone similar for Italian wines. Any suggestions for knowledgeable Italian wine fans who I should check out?

Tim is The Man. He travels extensively in Italy and posts incredible notes and pics.

Although I note that, sadly, Tim has only posted a total of 29 notes and nothing on his blog in the past 2 years.

I haven't talked to Tim in ages.

I talked to him on the phone at the beginning of the year, and we emailed a bit before our trip to Europe back in March. Haven't checked in with him or heard from him since, though. Looks like he was on the main CT site earlier today, though.

He's doing well, I'll be visiting him this Friday. I'll shout at him and tell him to check this thread.

We miss his input. Hope he is doing well.
