    Hi Gary,

    QOTD: I have one stand-by, Tocai Friulano Vigna del Rolat 2006 Dario Raccaro,
    just waiting for a nice summer day to open it. I hope it will be as good as
    the one you had on the show.

    Take care.

    Never heard of this wine, but with that kind of reaction and scoring, looks like i’m the looser. I like the short and sweet/or not so sweet laid back Fridays. Gets me pumped for Memorial Day, (although I do work tomorrow). God bless the memory of our fallen troops.
