QOTD: when I was last in Italy I was too young to drink wine.
The last time I used white pepper was in a white sauce so that it didn’t have ugly black flecks in it. That was quite a while ago. I still have the white pepper though.

This is really weird…I opened the 2005 felline primitivo that u recommended in episode 300 and something about 2 hours before I watched this show. Your tasting notes were right on the money…the orange was an obvious call, however you found oregano on the nose and palate that i wouldnt have gotten without your help and it was dead on. Great bottle for 12 bones, cheers!

I agree southern italy is a place i always have my eye on for value. It is unfortunate that selection is limited in my neck of the woods.

I went to Europe over the summer, visited ports in Italy and drank some really good wine but no recollection of the names. Also am a white pepper fan, great in egg drop soup.

A Mano Primitivo and Piluna Primitivo… The latter is much better in my opinion but A Mano is easier to find…

Yes, Negroamaro and Primitivo. I have also enjoyed Aliatico which I think is from southern Italy, but I’m not sure.

oh yeah QOTD … Yes … A Mano Primitivo and Taurino Notarpanaro come to memory.

I do like white pepper. It’s used in a lot of asian cuisines and adds a hot, not spicy pepper taste. Great in clear soups and marinating because black pepper burns on the grill or stove!

QOTD: Nope, haven’t tried any wines from Italy’s boot

One wine? How about 4 glasses for 4 wines instead of 1 glass for the show? Mix it up. GO back outside, that was way fun. Spit in the parking lot. Got roof access? I’m getting into this…

I like the idea of mixing up the formats. You never know what you might get one evening.

QOTD: I don’t think so though I’ve had Primitivos you have rated but forgot the region.

Cheers!

Thanks for the birthday shout out Gary. I can’t believe I made the chalkboard!

1 wine certainly mixes it up! Don’t get crazy and do like a week of 2 wines- that might crash the servers.

QOTD: A couple times; Most recently a 2004 La Corte Negroamere. I would give it 89+, but it really needs to breathe 1st – decant at least 1 hour for best results.

If Cynthia and ???? have half that marriage that Gary has then he will only see 25% of the time.

Holy crap! and to think I wasted all that money getting engaged in Venice when I could have had a semi-gay manscaped elf do it for free!

QOTD: The last Primitivo I had was the Bracco. Don’t know if it was from Puglia though. Have had some blends, didn’t pay much attention to where in Italy they came from..
