Dinner with Bruno de Conciliis

January 27th, 2010 by Chris Ryerson

Working in the relatively uncharted Cilento zone on the Campania coast, Bruno de Conciliis is one of the most admired and innovative winemakers in Campania. An avid jazz lover, De Conciliis experiments, improvises, and has fun. Yet, he is deeply philosophical about understanding his role as a winemaker, and is truly committed to finding balance through natural wine making. Oliveto Chef Paul Canales will prepare delectable Campanian-inspired courses to match six De Conciliis wines, including…

Dinner with Roberto

October 8th, 2009 by Catherine Meng

This evening will be somewhat casual, certainly impromptu, but we hope interesting, worthwhile, and delicious. Roberto is one of the most informed and thoughtful people we know in the wine world. And now, with the wine business in considerable disarray, we thought it a fine time to consider how it may be evolving as we work our way back towards normalcy, and perhaps…

A Visit From Two Piedmontese Friends

June 17th, 2009 by Bob Klein

Essential to the Oliveto Wine in Time project is Aldo Vacca, Director of Produttori del Barbaresco. Beginning in 1998, he has helped shape our ideas about wine, introduced us to many other fine producers, found old wine for our list, been a great host and friend, and helped us acquire hours of video tape about the region. On June 25th and 26th, Chef Canales will offer…

A Visit from Fontodi’s Giovanni Manetti

February 26th, 2009 by Catherine Meng

There are few winemakers who are as well respected as Giovanni Manetti from Fontodi in Panzano, the heart of the Chianti Classico region. He is known for his encyclopedic knowledge of wine as well as for his warmth and charm. While we’ve tended to present more traditionally made wines…

Paitin Comes to Dinner – February 17, 2009

February 16th, 2009 by Catherine Meng

We’ve just learned that this Tuesday evening, February 17th, Giovanni Pasquero-Elia of Sori Paitin in Barbaresco will be coming to Oliveto. We’re big fans of his wines (and have been able to acquire a good number of bottles of his great 1990 vintage), so we thought we’d let you know of the visit…
