qotd: tons of fun wine varietals/regions out there. Been looking for and when I can actually find them wines from Greece, Switzerland, Slovenia, Hungary, Uruguay, Corsica France, Reunion France etc., and lots of lesser known grapes like Charbono, Chasselas, Mondeuse, Tannat, Valdiguie, Savagnin, Picolit, etc, etc, etc,etc.
How could wine ever stop being fun or get boring?

I know this is a late reply, but Cesari also makes a pretty decent Amarone for $35. It's our “poor man's” way into the next level. I love both Ripassos and Amarones. I didn't know about Cesari's Mara Ripasso. I'll try to find some. Great price.

My fun fact is that, if you want to find who owns a website (such as http://www.sniffysniff.com) you can go to register.com and they’ll give you the information.

I love Amarone, but I’m glad that Ripasso is there for the common man!

Gary A and W out of a plastic bottle is a no-no. The only good A and W is out of a tap at one of their fast food places. And if you want a damn good root beer, check out Henry Weinhards. That is pretty much the only one I will drink ( besides Virgils ). Good stuff the way rootbeer should be (sasafrass in it and whatnot). QOTD: ( fun fact, actually ) Im a British comedy FREAK. I love love LOVE it. I own many complete sets ( Monty Python, Blackadder, Bottom, etc). Its just a type of humor thats so different from ours and to me is just better. Basically, I find it less predictable than ours (ours being American).

Iâ€™m having my first ripasso as I rewatch this episode. Itâ€™s a 2005 Villa Maffei Valpolicella Ripasso. I got some cinnamon on the nose. It bites my tongue on the finish which I really like. It liked it. Itâ€™s serious stuff.
