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

    I will see you at Bounce! Not sure if I will sleep before work or just leave Bounce and go directly into the office. I guess it depends on how crazy we get.

    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.

  • BubbsBaria

    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!!!

  • Scorpios just aren’t known for their intensity are they (she sez very sarcastically) They do make a good match with them Taurus bulls though.

    QOTD: you sure you don’t drink a lot of caffiene? You’ve mentioned in a past vid-blg that you weren’t a coffee drinker but then here you say you have a ‘favorite barrista’? curiouser and curiouser…

    Enjoyed a Lake County Sauvignon Blanc with some Port Salut during this episode…Happy Friday.

    Anyone in SacTown want to make the trip to see Gary at a book signing in the Bay Area?
