One of the world’s oldest, intact, wine drinking songs You may recognize the tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9lYC0lBfkATue, 24 Jul 2012 20:22:03 +0000
I finally made it to matts after reading about it on your blog some 4 years ago...the catfish sandwich was awesome and did not disappoint. Thanks for the tip.Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:31:15 +0000

Wolf, old boy, it's Nico, your housemate in Firenze, circa '97. Love your site. Ciao, bello! Viva Firenze!Tue, 24 May 2011 18:15:57 +0000
That Produttori di Carema Riserva strikes me as seriously overpriced at 15 EUR, though. The cellar door price would be closer to 8-9, and its no more than a 70-minute drive from Milan... Having said that, even in the 15 EUR price range it beats most of the competition right out of the water.Wed, 30 Mar 2011 14:16:29 +0000
INteresting post. I agree with Mo that Barolo is a name consumers have heard of and then want to try, and are then shocked/dissappointed and people should work up to BArolo through the ranks. Hopefully it will stay a proper wine, I mean with real character rather than what has happened to many so-called Rioja or Chianti. I'm all for making modern accesible wines, just lets find other names for them rather than let them masqueradeas classics.Mon, 21 Mar 2011 22:00:47 +0000
Hi Mo, Thanks for dropping back by -- and yes, Santa Caterina is great! Too bad there's not really enough to export. I also tried the vermentino and thought it was delicious, and quite racy too. Cheers!Mon, 21 Mar 2011 21:58:42 +0000
Santa Catarina, brilliant stuff. Like their Vermentino too.Mon, 14 Mar 2011 02:11:07 +0000
My wife and I just returned from San Francisco by train. While on the train we met two young men who were friends of yours. I am embarassed to say, I can't remember their names. At least one of them was an alumni of Notre Dame. In any case, we had some wine conversations over dinner, your name came up, and they said that you were planning to put cases together by theme or money or country or whatever and offer them to the public. I am very much interested in that concept and would like further information on your plans or the availability of your "custom" cases.
