Overpriced and disappointing wine experience. Cru tasting was 1 white, 2 Barbaresco & 3 mediocre barolos all from a single vintage showing no real variety or depth for a ridiculous high price. Way, way, way too much very basic wine talking and walking and very very slow to pour the very few wines. Too much time in between pours. Too much unneeded endless information. Friendly and delightful staff and the fantastic toasted hazelnuts do not make up for the fact that this is not worth the price at all. There are so many better Barbarescos and Barolos for better prices nearby. Avoid. Ceretto Cru tasting... Langhe, Barbaresco, and Barolo. Lots and lots of talking in broken English. Horizontal 2021 was good but not great - very odd choices if their intent was to hopefully sell bottles of wine. Asili Barbaresco tasty but not full. La Morra lots of perfume. Surprise 2014 bottle was awful and oxidized (oddly a few people in the tasting argued that they loved it) - a terrible example of how structure should stand up. Ceretto can do so much better, but for this $400 price (for 3ppl) and 6 tasting pours of relatively mediocre wines, I would never come back. Perhaps they don't actually want people to come and taste?
