I’m excited to share something that I’ve been working on over the past several weeks (months?), which is one of the first available tasting reports at Cristaldi & Co. Spearheaded by my longtime friend, biz partner, and super-cool Decanter writer buddy Jonathan Cristaldi, this tasting report covers 9 Livermore Valley wineries and 160+ of their most exciting recent releases.
A crap-ton of work has gone into these reports, most of it done by Jonathan (with support from me), and they are a breath of fresh air in general for the normally staid wine coverage we trend to see out there. You can check out the details at the Cristaldi & Co. website:
And there’s (much!) more to come, too.
We’re training our eyes (and palates) on exceptional wine regions that are currently being woefully under-served by the wine media in general. So if you’re a consumer who is looking for something under-the-radar, you will definitely want to check these out. And if you’re a producer or PR type representing a wine region that is getting scant amounts of luv from the wine press, you will definitely want to contact me about setting up a potential report!
I leave with some shots of the natural beauty of Livermore Valley that I took on my most recent jaunts there in 2024/5, just to whet your appetite…
Cheers!
