2/11/22, 4:39 PM - Thanks so much for the Tasting Note(s) VLGJEFF. I first heard of Franciacorta from a waiter (Yuri, ironically) at a fav Italian restaurant in San Francisco. Its almost impossible to find; while visiting daughter in NYC (2017) I bot 3 bottles at Astor Wines in Greenwich Village. MARVELOUS, but I've been saving the best (the Satèn) for last - sadly, I'm in SF and the bottle is on East Coast (covid travel restrictions). I've been trying to find it on the west coast; the last I checked Astor no longer has it. This website has an article on Satèn you might like (you might have to scroll down "Meet Satèn, Italy's Silk Wine"): https://www.foodandwine.com/wine-regions/italy/wine-101-soave-verdicchio-and-gavi

8/10/19, 7:07 AM - I'm curious Rob-Rah whether you ever followed up this review with a rating after consuming your other bottles; and whether cellaring helped. (if not perhaps it's time (wink).)Addendum: I was quite surprised by your prompt response, Thank you. I understand, my cellar/cooler space is also quite limited. I was gifted a bottle of 2018 Kindzmarauli I'll be reviewing soon that you may want to see. (I reviewed a 2015 Artevani Saperavi that you might also find interesting)

Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
