I had the opportunity to test the Centellino, top of the bottle, wine decanter the other night. The Centellino is blown glass, handmade in Italy. It certainly looks nice sitting on top of my bottle. It looks a little confusing at first but it is easy to use. I had a Columbia Winery Red Willow [...]

I’d like to thank Jamie Peha and many sponsors of the Seattle Food & Wine Experience. I was one of eight bloggers & tweeters who were tweeting live about the [...]
