Il Cavallante Wine Bar: Milan, Italy

Date:  dimanche 19 decembre 2010
Location:  Via Ludovico Muratori, 3
20135 Milan, Italy
Tel: 0254107325
Italian wine bar with floor to ceiling windows and wine bottles.  Noisy and boisterous inside, so not the place if you are looking for a cozy, quiet, intimate atmosphere to connect with a significant other.  Updated daily wine list with whatever they have popular in stock at the moment, which is nice if you don't want to do the due diligence of studying your Italian wines.  They also serve small plates of cheese and charcuterie.  And the cutest little breads in a little bag, for each patron. 

Well recommended place if you are wanting to wine taste and become familiar with Italian wines.  They let you taste before you decide on a glass.  We did Soledad wine tasting that night!  Then... I went home to my last night in Milan... got on the work computer til 2am... started packing my bags (which had spread themselves out over the course of my 1.5 week stay in Milan)... went out to eat my street Panini outside the hotel 330am... then 7am went to the airport en route Madrid.  Very cool way to end my Milanese winter work experience... Italian wine tasting! 

Still, I've a lot to learn regarding Italian wines. I will continue to explore... and another trip back to Italy is most definitely in store!

Seems like a great spot. I don't know Milan at all so I'll be using this blog as a reference. Was this mostly selections from Lombardia or do they carry wines from all over Italy?
