    Gary – nice cork toss! Direct hit. I haven’t tried a Falanghina yet but I need to give it a whirl.

    QOTD: I bought CRUSH IT on Amazon.com, does that count?

    Falanghina is great. I ADORE it. As I do with the region.
    Don’t forget the red wines. They also are great.

    Great show, Gary! Good to have you back. And best wishes for a great birthday! My birthday present for you is a small but important edit of Episode 760. The link to the “Quinta Do Castro Douro” is broken, most likely because of the typo that turned the wine’s name, “Crasto,” into “Castro.” Since “castro” translates to “castrate” you probably don’t want your viewers calling for that the next time they eat out at a fine Portuguese restaurant!

    Speaking of great Italian wines, what ever happened to that fantastic Bragato Tocai Friulano (Episode 471)? You gave that puppy a 94+ and it was worth it. Now it’s disappeared. Any idea why?

    Slainte!
