In the first episode of CorkRules, Maria Valetta, wine educator and certified sommelier, demystifies the wine list from ABC Kitchen, a John George restaurant on 35 East 18th street in New York City. Maria draws our attention to the simple breakdown of descriptive sections, making the list easier to navigate, but more importantly, she explores the unique white wine varietals from Italy before moving on to reds from South America, specifically, Chile and Argentina.

Wines reviewed include:

  • 2019 Tenuta Pietramore from Tuscany
  • 2018 Nerello Mascalese
  • 2019 Bodegas Escorihuela Gascon “1884”
