Lynne relies on the guides from Gambero Rosso®, one of the premier Italian wine ranking organizations, for recommendations. The top winners for 2006 were recently announced at the Three Glasses Awards in New York. Most of these wines are produced at very small vineyards, but keep an eye out for them anyway because you never know where they might show up.
