His interest in collecting wine began over 20 years ago while living in Chicago, driven by a simple curiosity about why he enjoyed certain bottles so much more than others. That curiosity quickly led him to Bordeaux—especially Merlot-heavy blends with a softer edge—and Tuscan wines built around the Sangiovese grape. He grew particularly fond of reliable producers like Antinori, who consistently deliver great quality across their entire range. Rather than chasing ultra-expensive trophy bottles, his focus remains on finding the sweet spot between price and performance, making Left Bank Second Growths and solid vintage years the backbone of his selection. To keep everything in peak condition, he relies on Sub-Zero wine fridges, preferring their steady, reliable temperature control over standard cellar storage.

This is the tasting note for 2019 Marchesi Antinori Solaia Toscana from Robert Parker - The Marchesi Antinori 2019 Solaia is another blockbuster success from Tuscany's leading wine estate. The blend sees a slightly higher percentage of Cabernet Franc and a slightly lower percentage of Sangiovese. The current mix is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Franc (which has been creeping up in recent years, especially as the climate changes). The soils at the Solaia vineyard are rich in Galestro rock, which is an especially happy pairing with Cabernet Franc in particular. Managing Director Renzo Cotarella tells me that that a vintage like 2019 is proof that the final character of a wine comes from its surrounding territory, not from the blend. This is a generous and extremely expressive edition with lots of dark fruit, spice and sweet tobacco. The tannins are beautifully velvety and soft. This is a beautiful wine that collectors will love..
