It's one of the best best tastings in America as far as the overall quality and rarity of the wines themselves. If you go don't be afraid to say "hello."

Well, I certainly had a fantastic time at Ft. Mason. If you missed it, get a ticket to New York before tomorrow. In addition to several hundred of Italy's very best wines, (including some very rarely seen bottles from Piedmonte, Bolgheri, and points beyond), the event was a virtual who's who of wine industry heavyweights. To top it all off there were some absolutely stunning cheese plates! (I must have eaten over three pounds of cheese myself, and it hardly made a dent in the supply). I'll be uploading some more reviews shortly and most of the wines are just begining to show up at retail so stay tuned.
