Hello! My name is Nina. I am a wine enthusiast and a student at International Sommelier Guild.
I became a wine enthusiast quite recently. I always was a foodie. And I noticed wine was always part of the meal in many countries. So I wanted to find out more! I went to ISG courses. And now I’m hooked! I love the history, I love the varieties.
I love wine. And I love how you can build your taste with wine and food.
I'm doing private parties for wine and food pairings. I want people to learn something new and have fun!
And I'm always learning!

Umberto Fiore Barbaresco 2006
Piedmont, Italy$18.75
Semi opaque in the glass, garnet color.
On the nose more floral aromas, licorice, red berries.
On the palate dry, medium bodied, I’d say still young. First acidity jumps to your palate, good balance of oak and tannins. Little high in alcohol. Overall little unbalanced, but very food friendly.
