- About Me:
- When I bought TorreBarolo, I never thought I would rent it out, but as life has it, I am not able to spend as much time in the area now as I had hoped. The tower provides such a unique setting to experience all that the Langhe has to offer and in renting it out, it is my way now to share my love and passion for the area with as many visitors as possible. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any recommendation and see the Blog for my latest discoveries.

- Most memorable experience around wine?
- My best memory of that trip was sitting in the dining room of Trattoria Della Posta, when it was still in the center of Monforte d'Alba and you had to walk through the kitchen to get to the dining room. My dad and I were invited by Mr. Altare to join him and a few of his wine making buddies for lunch. Of course my dad thought my 5 months of living in Florence 8 years earlier qualified me as a translator. Luckily, Mr. Altare brought along his daughter whose English was thankfully better than my Italian, and between the two of us, we were able to make sure everyone was understood. I remember watching the vintners swirl their over-sized wine glasses of deep garnet colored Barolo and speak about the issues that had affected the year's harvest. It was a very special experience to witness the pride and enthusiasm these men shared in their technique and traditions.

I have just started Italian lessons in my car. If I ever feel I can negotiate the language, (or have someone with me that speaks Italian), Italy is my destination.
I am the wine manager for off-site sales at Wooldridge Creek Winery in the Applegate, Southern Oregon. We have wonderful wines and a relaxed and fun tasting room and grounds. My other passion is oil painting and your area lends itself to that.
Thank you for the connection.
