Thanks Christian. Yes Kudo to Levi for great photos and pertinent Abruzzo's infos. I did enjoy Eurocup a lot too and Portugal finally won a title. Hope you follow Olympic Soccer.

Kirk, very nice way to enjoy life with the De Fermo Pecorino over a leisure lunch. I had the De Fermo Launegild Chardonnay over seafood dinner and thoroughly enjoy the not- from Burgundy Chardonnay. In fact the De Fermo Chardonnay standed up quite well against The 2011 Simon Bize Bourgogne...

Brian, thanks for your offer. I hope that we will get some De Fermo wine in Boston soon..

Yes, I will open an old Huet to Happy Birthday You SFJoe.

Levi, what a treat to eat at a place with a great cook, Grandma Rosa, and charming sommelier , Granpa Emidio Pepe. The Pepe family is so nice.

Levi, thanks for a very detailed and informative description of Percorino wine. Yes, the Pepe Percorino is enjoyable, full- bodied and made for aging. Stefano said that the De Fermo 2015 Percorino and Chardonay has been shipped to NY so I hope to be able to try them again soon.

Robert, yes I hope that you will visit Abruzzo soon. As Levi said, it just a short drive from Rome but the landscape, people, food and wine are so different. I'm sure that Stefano will be delighted to meet you and the NY crew. Thanks Robert.

Levi, thanks for some great photos of De Fermo and Pepe vineyards and winery. Abruzzo is so beautiful but still very much an undiscovered place. Dan, yes we'll get together to drink the simple wine from Abruzzo over dinner.

Jeff, I've tasted the 2015 De Fermo Percorimo and it was delicious. I don't know the history of Percorino at de Fermo but I will ask Stefano. Stefano and his wife Eloisa will be in NY city in the Fall and if you want to meet them over dinner i think that They will be happy to do that.

Thanks Slaton for your kind words. Yes, Stefano told me that Grand Crus Selection in NY is his importer. I have not seen any de Fermo bottle in the Boston area yet. I was skeptical when Stefano asked me to taste his 2015 Chardonay. I actually liked it a lot after tasting it, a simple but...

Abruzzo is a peaceful and marvelous place with kind and generous people. Last month we visited Abruzzo for a couple days and had a marvelous time. The first night, we had dinner at La Bandiera with our local friend Stefano and his wife Eloisa. While we were chatting and drinking a 2011...

Jeff, Thanks for coming to China King and celebrating the "Simple Pleasure" life of SFJoe with us. When I last saw SFJoe in NYC I mentioned to Joe that I will be meeting Zul (aka Luca Mazzoleni) in Bergamo for the first time. Joe then said that you will be pleased to know Zul, a very gracious...

I enjoyed reading Joe Dougherty writing on wine for almost twenty years, sometimes I email to Joe to tell him how much I loved his wine articles and Joe would always reply with a humble response to say how much he appreciated my good thought, but I never had the opportunity to meet Joe until...

So true Brad! The 89 Moelleux and especially the 1er Trie are Philippe Foreau's masterpiece. The wine has such clarity and elegance that it might feel light and well balance in the mouth. It's always a treat to have the chance to drink 89 Foreau wine.
