The Crush

Holiday wine pairings from a Palate Character perspective.

LVI is taste56’s exclusive wine brand that partners with the best winemakers from around the world.

I never tire of meeting people who are passionate about their craft, and Franco Bardi personifies that quality.

The late entrepreneur and larger-than-life Gianni Brunelli and his wife, Laura Vacca, founded Le Logge in 1977, as well as his namesake winery. Laura continues the tradition of quality in both.
