Arrived in Italy yesterday for my first wine trip abroad in about 3 years!
First stop Pieve Santa Restituta purchased by Gaja in 1994 and producing the world class Brunello di Montalcino pair Sugarille and Rennina. Tasting with Giovanni Gaja. /Tom

1/7 Many will have woken up on 25th November to see the devastating sight of one of the country's most loved pub & restaurant burnt down. To have this happen just before Christmas will affect the families of staff who worked here, and be a heartfelt blow to thousands of people…
It’s been a long night so far…..I’m afraid we won’t be open for a while as we are reduced to ashes with The Star on fire and still burning, residents please call after 9 am . Thanks @chefandrewpern 🥲
