Vernaccia Wines From Italy, Another White Wine To Pay Attention To. – Episode #457

May 2, 2008

Vernaccia is another classic white wine that is overlooked by so many as they focus on the 1 or 2 white wines they drink from Italy. I hate to pick on Pinot Grigio but I want people to expand their palates.

bar question: “did she just wink at me? oh no, actually her contact fell out.”

seriously though, what’s the best way to bring our friends and loved ones that aren’t into web2.0 up-to-speed? i feel like when you ‘get it’ you’re life is greatly improved and i want that for my friends and family, but even after explaining it, some just will never move to gmail or start using rss or join linkedin or twitter. do we let them fall behind or do we even have a choice?

Wandered over here after hearing you on basic brewing radio. Love that your challenging people to try new things and break out of the rut.

QOTD: In the archives you’ve mentioned you see big things from the snake river valley (my stomping grounds). What will define the area?

QOTD: How you would react from a business sense to the pending doom that is nationwide shipping laws? Would you consider something like wine.com where they set up small shops within certain state borders thus making them legal in that state? 2 quesions…sorry.

GREAT show today GV! I left a comment a couple of weeks ago expressing my love for Vernaccia di San Gimignano – don’t know if you saw it, but I’m going to think it was me who influenced you to do the Ver-nah-chee-uh show today…

QOTD – What wine have you had that the grapes were grown the farthest north of the equator?

Tried quite a few of these Vernaccia bad boys when I was on my hold last year. Idyllic place and gorgeous wines. Very difficult to find them back here in Ireland.
