Bring the thunder of passion………… with a great spaghetti sauce with spaghetti and meat balls.

Add a cup of good red wine to your favorite spaghetti sauce, and to your meat ball mix to kick it up. You will never make it again; without the wine.
That is our passion here at the Morelli house.

Another great show and more temptations for me as always.

QOTD: I decided to really think about other than wine and family/friends what I am passionate about. I was going to say food but decided to be a little more obscure. I’m going to say I’m passionate about 1994 – 1996 SNES RPGs…. I’m talking about Final Fantasy VI (III in the US) and Chrono Trigger baby! Passed by a lot of early teen years with those.

Gary, you might have said “MOB” because you listen to so much rap, which is an acronym for Money Over Bitches.

I’m doubling up on comments today, as I was unable to leave one yesterday, and I really liked the question. So I’ll start with that. My fun fact of the day (yesterday to be precise) is something I recently encountered in a book about wine. I read that there are over 500 chemical compounds found in wine. The same chemical compounds that give flavor and smell to various organics found on this planet. So when we smell or taste bell pepper (for example) from a cab sauv it’s because we are actually smelling or tasting the same chemical components that give bell peppers their inherent flavor. How awesome is that? All this time I thought it was all in my head.
QOTD (today): I’m passionate about music. Right now specifically The Mars Volta. Talk about a band that brings the thunder!
Best wishes Gary, love the show.

Great show as always. Sorry I will not be able to make the Wash Wine thing! I so wanted to! I would have brought a Walla Walla Syrah 2003- Renninger, Cougar Crest, or Zerba. Maek sure to try some Cougar Gold cheddar while in Washington.
