Comments To Question Re Amarone Vintage Charts

Several years ago I gave an Amarone tasting for the Hollywood Wine Society & included were my last bottles of 1967 & 1976. Recently with several members of this group plus Andy Lampasone (owner of Wine Watch wine store) & Hermes Ortiz ( wine importer) we had a dinner plus 6 bottles (3 vintages each) of Dal Forno & Quinterelli (early 80s & 90s) & a 1999 magnum of Tommaso Bussola TB Vigneto Alto. I only have left some bottles of 1990,95,96, 97 ,98 &99 from Allegrini, Masi & Tommasi & a couple lesser known producers. Thanks again, Dr. Donald Holzberg
