087 - Opening a Barolo: The King of Wines, the Wine of Kings

In this weeks episode, Shelley and Phil open a 2015 Barolo from Luca Bosio. Barolo, which is known as ’the king of wines, the wine of kings’, is produced from the Nebbiolo grape and has become the darling of the wine world. If you can find one, and it probably won’t be cheap, open it up and taste through it with Shelley and Phil! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #CheersingWines tasted this episode:2015 Luca Bosio Barolo ($30 from The Culinary Stone)For more information on this Luca Bosio Barolo please visit https://www.lucabosiovineyards.com/en/wine-6-baroloThanks to our sponsor:   Eternal Wine, Culinary Stone, 3D Kitchens by Design Eternal Wine.
