  • I had an Elio Perrone Barbera on Saturday but I was unimpressed. I would love to try the Icardi but it’s sold out already!
    QOTD: I gotta go to the 80’s here and say The A-Team.

    Don’t you think that there’s an argument that the richness of the parmigiano is flattening out the wines on your palate. maybe that’s a smartass suggestion to a great wine man like yourself.
    Keep it going to 500 shows and beyond

    I don’t know how many time’s I’ve eyed Barbera in the wine shop and ended up going with something else (usually b/c of price… as shops nearby only carry more well-known or scored wines). Regardless I am excited to get into something other than Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio, Nero d’avola from Italy.

    QOTD: The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park. There’s nothing more funny than a good social commentary. However, touching shows like Extreme Home Makeover are nice too… and science programs!
