QOTD – No, I have not. Sounds like I need to track down this Bragato though. I hope I can find it around Seattle.

Nice job w/ a not -so-common wine that obviously scores big. Scallyups for everyone!

QOTD: Had one once from either the Island or Finger Lakes (NY) nothing to write home about. I’ll be Leonard Nimoy “In Search Of” that 06 Brgatao BIG TIME!

QOTD: Nope. I hope to broaden my horizons though. Been watching since early episodes and still only have had about 30 white wines in my whole life.

QOTD – never had a Tocai Friulano but will seek one out to try. The wife might like as well – can only hope as she is stuck on Chardonnays.

Welcome home.

QOTD – Yes, I have had one. Didn’t like it. I tend not to like floral white wines. That said, I will try another…and another…

I don’t remember the show being on this early before, cool – and I was just reading about Tocai Friulano this morning.

QOTD – No, not had one, don’t think I’ve seen (m)any in the shops either. Don’t worry, I’ll get one eventually.

Funny I have not yet, but i have recommended the varietal to someone already. That’s a little backwards. But I will definitely try this one. Oh Gary, thanks for signing my bottles of Masperla for my birthday….what a great surprize. I guess my wife asked for something from your ordering department, and you came through with signing the bottles she ordered. She was blown away! Thanks again!

More and more things I’ve never heard of, but expansion is the name of the vino game.

How refreshing to see you so exited about this white. You were a little drunk this time too. Also refreshing to see.
