    Hi Gary,
    QOTD: Gary I’m giving you your future for your BD present…the older you get, the better it gets.
    It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I generally love falanghina.
    I find it more complex than the other Campagna whites (fiano, greco di tufo).
    It’s a geek grape in America, but it shouldn’t be…it’s kind of like chardonnay with balls. A good wine with cheeses, cream sauces, and even cured meats.
    Hey Man, could you please taste the Washington siegerrebe’s and lemberger I left you last spring? It would mean alot to me. Thanks for all you do. Peace and Happy 34th!

  • each wine delivered half of the formula, but the Mustilli came out on top, carried by the balance…excellent short and sweet analysis of both wines and still some time to hang with us. many thanks as usual.
    We’ve had Falanghina a few times in the last couple of years, and were at a tasting event this summer…I think I may have posted the wine list here…I was fixated on the Vermentino but Andrea insisted that we get some of the De Conciliis Falanghina as well ( http://www.viticoltorideconciliis.it/ )…serious minerality meets tropical fruits, it was excellent with the seared scallops pairing.

    QOTD: It’s a surprise…and I’m mailing it to Mott.

    QOTD: I’m leaving a comment for every episode this week, also going to be throwing in a little olde school WLTV reminders.

    Would you say that these wines are golden like the golden locks of Hulk Hogan circa 1985 or 1992? 😉
