I simply can't to justice to the recent Tre Bicchieri announcement in the same way as The Wine Offensive's recent revision:
OK, I know I piss and whine about score whores all of the time. But, one list of awards I do pay attention to is Gambero Rosso’s Tre Bicchieri. If you’ve been bit by Italia, their yearly guide to top Italian wines is a very good Primer.
I shamelessly cut and paste this list of 2006 Tre Bicchieri winners from my new friend Fiorenzo. I hope he doesn’t mind. Hey! Let’s give him a plug: he owns a gorgeous wine shop in Genova (or Genoa) that’s been in his family for generations (visit from here: www.vinoteca-online.com). He also has a blog. And even though my Italian is spotty, I’ll be scanning it for recommendations. I trust very few people here in the states to recommend Italian wine to me. I don’t trust them to know the difference between real Italian wine and shite made for the undiscerning international palate?.
Because 90% of the time,
NEW OAK?? + (ITALIAN GRAPE) = ABOMINATION.
Although he doesn't mince his words, the coverage is pretty? comprehensive. *thumbs-up*
