    yes, I’ve had barbara. Spinetta makes some good ones, though most over $20 I think. love em.
    I’m all about barbera and also dolcetto now. I’ll throw in Cahors as to round out my trio of underrated wines (even though the last one is french.) How ’bout a cahors episode?

    QotD: Yes but admittedly it was a California Barbera. It was damn tasty, though. Will definitely look up Italian Barbera next time I’m purchasing

  • QotD: Nope, never tried one. I’m going to ask my guy to recommend one or two on the next run, though.

    “Balbara” should be “Barbera” Typing to fast.

    Sure I’ve had Barberas. But not in a LONG time. Good to see you all pumped like that.

    QOTD: I’ve only had Barbaras at wine tastings. I’ll have to get one for dinner.
    When you come to dinner does everyone lock their cats up? They should.

  • MagnumGourmet

    This is what the Thunder Show should be about. Wine wine wine…

    I have had one Barbera (Technically I had two of these at a restaurant)

    1998 Icardi Barbera d’Alba Suri di Mu vineyard. Paired with osso buco. Remember it being very earthy. Great stuff.

    Need to have some more.

    Live cats? So that’s what those guys in Italy are eating…

    QOTD: Nope, haven’t had a Barbera. And what am I waiting for? Where do I start? Time in my schedule to see American Gangster, this semester to end, oh, and this weekend to begin!

    Throw the Vietti Tre Vigne in the bunch as well – all fabulous. Barberas, Barolos and exceptional Chiantis just make me proud to be an Italian-American. Some of the best sub-$20 juice you can get out there.

  • Shane

    Ok, now that I watched….QOTD: No, not that I know of. I was waiting to get a nice live cat meal lined up to pair it with, but apparently I could go with something like Inky Spaghetti.

    Your Knicks board cracks me up. I just feel sorry for you. Jets and Knicks. Glutton for punishment. Come down to Texas and we can cheer of the Cowboys and the Mavs. Get a taste of that sweet victory.

    Was reading this article today (http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2007/11/the_subjectivity_of_wine.php) and it made me wonder whether you’re the only guy out there who knows a damn about wine these days. Keep up the good work GV!
