The routine is considered de rigueur among some Chianti producers. Here, the mildly vegetal notes...
...elegant paneled dining car, its tables covered with crisp linen and set with silver, china and glassware, comes from another, golden era of train travel, but it is alive and well aboard the American Orient Express, the only private luxury train in North America.
