A perfect Friday evening on the patio at ONE Restaurant, celebrating the wines of Château Cheval Blanc and Cheval des Andes.

We began with Champagne and Axyon Toronto caviar before sitting down for dinner, where Pierre Polbos guided us through an exceptional lineup spanning Bordeaux and the Andes:

2023 Le Petit Cheval
2023 Cheval des Andes
2022 Cheval des Andes
2011 Château Cheval Blanc
2006 Château Cheval Blanc

It was a rare opportunity to taste these wines side by side, and to hear directly from Pierre about the people, places and philosophy behind each bottle.

Beautiful wines, a warm summer evening and a table filled with great conversation. A pretty special way to spend a Friday night.

Thank you to Pierre, ONE Restaurant and everyone who joined us for such a memorable evening.

Newly released from Isole e Olena: The 2023 Chianti Classico. A benchmark expression of Tuscany and a beautiful reminder of why this estate has been so influential in shaping modern Chianti Classico.

From the western reaches of the appellation, Isole e Olena has long championed Sangiovese and a style built around elegance, perfume and a true sense of place.

The 2023 leans into the bright, fragrant side of Sangiovese: violets, crunchy red cherry and orange peel, with subtle spice, fine polished tannins and a fresh, mineral finish. Beautifully approachable now, with plenty of life ahead of it.

Some places have a remarkable way of transporting you through time.

Walking the grounds of Castello della Sala, it’s impossible not to imagine the centuries of history that have unfolded within its walls. Built in 1350 and acquired by the Antinori family in 1940, the estate is a beautiful expression of how history and innovation can exist in perfect harmony.

One of the highlights of our visit was descending into the estate’s extraordinary underground cellars. Carved beneath the medieval fortress, these historic caves have provided the ideal conditions for ageing wine for generations. Today, they remain home to some of Italy’s most celebrated wines, including the iconic Cervaro della Sala, a testament to Antinori’s enduring vision for Umbria.

Thank you to the team at Castello della Sala for welcoming us and sharing the story behind one of Italy’s most remarkable wine estates.

Over the past few days, our team has fallen for Puglia’s ancient olive groves, dramatic landscapes, warm hospitality, and a way of life that feels beautifully connected to the land. It only deepened our appreciation for the wines we’ve known and loved for so many years.

More than 20 years ago, the Antinori family recognized the extraordinary potential of this region and invested in a vision: to elevate Puglia’s indigenous grape varieties, some dating back to the era of Magna Graecia, to the highest level. That vision became two estates: Bocca di Lupo in Castel del Monte and Tormaresca in Salento, each telling a different story of this remarkable region.

Seeing Bocca di Lupo firsthand made that vision tangible. Every vineyard, every conversation, and every glass spoke to a deep respect for place and tradition.

We fell in love with these wines long ago. This week, we fell head over heels in love with Puglia.

A long lunch at Pian delle Vigne with winemaker Fabio Ratto, where every bottle came with a story and every conversation offered a deeper understanding of the estate.

Tasting through the Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, and the remarkable Vignaferrovia was a masterclass in how place, patience, and time shape each wine.

Next stop: Antinori nel Chianti Classico. Marchesi Antinori

Designed to disappear into the Tuscan hillside, every element of the building feels intentional. Local materials, including terracotta and pietra serena stone, connect the winery to its surroundings, while the earth itself helps regulate temperature naturally throughout the cellar.

What struck us most is that none of the beauty comes at the expense of function. Every architectural decision serves a purpose, from the gravity-flow design that moves the wines gently through the winery to the thoughtful use of light, energy, and space.

Like the wines themselves, the architecture is elegant, understated, and purposeful. A beautiful expression of Antinori’s philosophy; honouring tradition while embracing innovation, always with an eye toward the future.
