  • Lived in Fruili for 3 years 2002-5. While I prefer red, Fruili is known for its great whites. My favorite Tocai producers are Franco Toros, Dario Racarro, Mario Drius, Livio Felluga, and tonight I will be drinking a Ronco de Gelso Tocai 2003 (just so happened to pick that one out even before the show).

    never had had one but I was excited when I read the notes because I remembered seeing several reviewed in a magazine a couple years back. they were likewise impressed, even to the point of calling them “super whites” Thanks, I’ll seek these out and have a go.
    have a great weekend everyone!

    Trust you’re enjoying a well-deserved vacation. You know the old saying: In beer there is strength, in wine there is truth and in water there is bacteria. So don’t drink the water. QOTD: Nope, never, but will.

  • Sure, but this isn’t about the Tocai Friulano today. It is all about that crazy precision spitting you’ve got going on!

  • T. Bone

    Definitely had Tocai before, good stuff, but never have been blown away like that before. Wow, going to look for the Bragato, need to see what a 94 GV is all about.

    Don’t the locals have that with prosciutto? Maybe you should have had some food to go with that, it is laid back Friday after all.

    Dude: First, kudos to you for bringing in a younger generation and introducing them to the exciting world of wine. That’s your shout.

    Second, learn to PRO-NOUNCE grapes, wineries, and places. FREE-U-LEE! Not FRU-E-LEE. DA-FAY, NOT DU-FO! The only thing you appear to pronounce correctly is your name. Though only your family and Mott might know the truth.

    Third, have your mom clean up your room and put the toys away. Also have her wash the shirt or don’t wear it two shows in a row. And put the Pepto Bismal in the medicine chest.

    WHO roots for the Jets? That’s like rooting for the Lions but with an attitude.

    Have a good weekend and keep em’ coming.
