EP 457 Vernaccia Wines From Italy, Another White Wine To Pay Attention To.

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.

Wines tasted in this episode:

Fontaleoni Vernaccia Di San GimignanoVernaccia di San Gimignano
2006 Sovestro Vernaccia Di San GimignanoVernaccia di San Gimignano

    qotd: what was your social image while you were growing up? (honestly, I imagine you were that sort of unintentional class clown type – the one other kids would see and be like “dude, check out gary, he’s eating ladybugs again!” always spitting something out that never should have gone in your mouth…)

    great show today.

    Hi Gary,

    I totally agree on trying different varieties. I was in Germany last week and tried many local grapes, Kerner, Trollinger, Lemberger and so on. Great with local dishes.

    Keep on nice work.

    Lets talk about room temp.
    Everyone always says room temp for reds, but, room temp for me may be differant than for you. So I really want to know what the optimal drinking temp is for Reds and Whites. Room temp at my house ranges between 70 and 75 degrees.

    Do you have trouble sleeping at night because your mind won’t shut off, or do you colapse as soon as your head hits the pillow? I can usually go to sleep pretty easy, but then wake and my mind starts rolling and I can’t go back to sleep.
