Riccardo Cottarella ...
... was named wine maker of the year in 2001 for Gambero Rosso
and wine maker of the year in 2002 according to Wine Enthusiast.
In June 2003, Wine Specator said, "Cottarello is one of the
best hired guns in Italian wine making". See
the whole article.
"This man is brilliant!!!" exclaimed Gail shortly after
meeting him in November.
We don't know what Riccardo said about Gail, but we can assume
from the happy, smiling photo below that he was equally impressed.
Riccardo and Gail (One of
her Idols!)
