Fabiano Ramaci is making Amarone-style wines in Sonoma. Amarone is Mike's favorite Italian wine. Of course he had to have him on the podcast! It's a great conversation about Fabiano's Italian heritage and growing up in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, the restaurant business, and the usual chattering about some very tasty wines!
