Kathryn and Tug open up an “allocated” bottle this week from a special producer they visited in Italy. They reminisce on their trip to Barolo in 2014 and a special afternoon with winemaker Fabio Alessandria of G.B. Burlotto. The couple discusses why wines from this producer are so unique and limited. What makes a wine hard to get? Who gets allocated wines and why? Tug talks about a series of concerts he has enjoyed in his mini “mid-life” crisis. Meanwhile, Kathryn is mostly thinking about puppies and @golden.mylokin Instagram. The Wine of the Week is the G.B. Burlotto, Verduno Pelaverga, Piemonte, Italy 2020.
