This was such a magical afternoon. What a priviledge it was to be a part of Corrado’s verticale tasting of his Gli Eremi. We tasted the past 11 years of his Gli Eremi starting from 2000, his very first wine. I’m not a sommelier by any means, and I was too busy taking photos to really have my full attention to what Corrado was saying. But it was amazing to sample a single wine for every vintage the past 11 years. Each was much different than the one previous. Corrado recently recieved an award by Gamberro Rosso, Italy’s wine bible for his 2009 Gli Eremi. However, his favorite vintage is 2004. Mine was 2006. It was not as acidic in my opinion, making it little more subtle but still had a great complex flavor. I was so excited and having so much fun taking photos it was hard to really pay attention to the wines. Working a tiny room with a 50mm lens was difficult, but I think some of my favorite wine photos came out of this afternoon.
