Wine splurges and steals Six wines chosen by chef Mario Batali, from $15 to $775.  NEW YORK (Fortune) -- Why is it that wine has a singular ability to reduce otherwise worldly men and women to insecure, stuttering naifs - or worse, swaggering poseurs? It's mystifying, frankly. But as master chef and restaurateur Mario Batali puts it, "wine doesn't have to come out all dusty and musty from some corkdork's cellar to be good."
We asked Batali (who's also co-owner of Italian Wine Merchants in New York City) to recommend the best vino Italiano for every budget. Not surprisingly, Batali couldn't resist offering pairing suggestions as well. You can find local stores that stock his wine picks at wine-searcher.com. And the pairings? Unless papardelle with wild boar is part of your cooking repertoire, your best bet might be reservations at Babbo's. See Mario Batali's picks, from $15 to $775. More Business Life: |
