Hands of a Winemaker.

Bottles of Levi Grappa.  The labels are done by hand, one at a time!


Bottles of 1999 Barolo awaiting labeling at the winery of Elio Grasso near Monforte d'Alba.

 
I insisted Aldo Vajra stand "just so," in an effort to capture the winery name both behind him on the wall and through his eye-glasses.

There's a wonderful grissini specialist in Barolo, very close to the winery of Borgogno.
Don't miss a taste of these babies!



A few glasses of the un-labeled 1999 Barolo made by Bartolo Mascarello.
