I am most used to seeing proprietor Joe Bastianich hold court at his flagship New York restaurants Babbo and Del Posto, yet as Bastianich climbs over barrel after barrel in search of his newest creation I get the sense that if he had his druthers, he would much rather be here in Friuli making wine than running his restaurant empire. Among the many wines I tasted was a compelling 2007 Pinot Grigio (not for commercial release) fermented on the skins and aged in 100% new oak. Bastianich (the estate) is a young property, but the future seems very bright.
