I was just reading your review of the Sforzato di Valtellina and it took me back to the days of traveling through Switzerland and dropping down into this region of Italy. I found myself going back there even if it was detour from my regularbusiness travel just to stop in the CO-OP in Sondrio and load up on Inferno's, Grumello's and Sassella's.
ReplyDeleteAny suggestions of where too find wines from Valtellina in the USA? Thank you, William
Thanks for the comment, William. We took a look at WineSearcher, www.winesearcher.com and found a few leads. All of these wines are considerably more expensive (starting at $50) than the wine we wrote up in the post, so your best bet may be to scour the bargain shelves at local stores. At any rate, WineSearcher pointed us to Morrell & Co in NY, Owen's Liquors in Myrtle Beach, Bacchus Wine in San Diego, and many more (do a free search at WineSearcher for the rest).
ReplyDeleteAnother idea is to contact the importers directly, and ask where they have sold (or can sell) near you. If they are not in a shop near you, you might persuade them or the shop owner to start carrying their wine. It appears that Premium Brands of NY brings in Conti Sertoli Salis, Omniwines of Linden Hills NY brings in Fay, and Frederick Wildman of NYC brings in Nino Negri. We can help you with contact information for any of these importers if you like.
Happy hunting!
Hooray for new readers!
