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.

    QOTD:Would you leave a daytime postition in a laid back wine retail shop “for the people” or take on the hectic responsibility of training and running a wine bar on nights and weekends to spread the thunder to the CCC and RichieRiches? If what would your salary request be? Major dilemma here. Either way I am starting to lose my PASSION for wines because it is just a round the clock duty…how do I get my wino mojo back I’M ONLY 26!!!

    Wow, the laid back Friday is fired up but that’s OK. I’d probably tell you thanks for sharing your wine experience. Maybe I’d ask you if I could just go along the next time you go to France to check out the wine? I’d like to do the barrel tasting stuff.
