In the 3rd installment of What’s For Sipper?, I dive into the philological brain of one Mr. Jeremy Parzen. I first met Jeremy back in March in Asti when he so kindly invited me to join him and some other rockstar wine dudes for a Barbera extravaganza. I became one of the Barbera 7. And my life changed. No- not really. But we had one hell of a fun time. He continues to impress with his linguistic acumen, musical skills, undying love for wife Tracie P. and knowing actually everything about Italian wine. I bow down to you.

i like what’s going on here… a lot.
odd, I was just sipping on some Pichierri Terrarossa Primitivo ’92….thinking about the roast duck we just brought back from the Chinese BBQ after a very long day…
@Whitney thanks so much for the shout out and thinking of me for this! (I’m just getting online here in Italy and finally seeing it).
@Alfonso Tracie P and I tasted the current vintage the other day and it was fantastic!
