I opened a bottle of Tuscan Syrah the night I proposed to my wife. I thought it would pair well with the diamond ring I was about to present. The connection was the ring’s history. It was originally owned by an Italian countess from Panzano in the 19th century. We were both feeling deeply romantic and happy that evening. The wine did the trick. She said yes. I guess the countess’s ring didn’t hurt either...

“La Contessa” is my tribute to that wine and to that memory. This is our estate Syrah and it has a beautiful nose, perfect weight, and delightful intensity. It shows notes of black cherry, dark chocolate, and coffee.  Cin Cin!
