"I don't know if you had noticed but I am on my way to Italy in 2 weeks. I have been invited to a seminar in Montefalco and I added 4 days in Tuscany. I'll be visiting producer in Chianti Nov 15 and 16 then Montalcino and Montepulciano the 17 and 18.
Very busy but very exciting as well."

"Yeah,
I absolutely need to do a better job proofing my docs. In all honesty I corrected the errors but must have not saved the corrected doc and then went back and cut and pasted the unrevised copy.
That will not happen again.
About those southern Italian wines. I find some of the same attitudes in the north, mostly among the older generation.
Lot's of people still view wine as something to be enjoyed but not thought about. Many nights I'm right there with them. Nights like that are perfect for some Salice.
The Cosimo Taurino Salice was my house wine for years. from the 1979 to 199 vintage I bought at least 5 cases a year to enjoy mid-week when I just wanted a glass of wine. The fact that the 1979 was $24 a case and the 1990 $60 on release certainly helped as well.
So how was Salento?"

Thought this was an excellent bottle of Prosecco - nice citrus flavors, good acidity, clean and fresh. Maybe I like it more than some of the other reviewers here due to the fact that I got it at a...
The wine was a beautiful color in the glass - clear ruby to sapphire. I could't get much of the nose. A little light and thin in the mouth. Complex, refined flavors, cherries dominate but the...
I was more than pleasantly surprised by this wine. I decanted it for over an hour, and it was a beautiful, brilliant, bright and clear ruby-sapphire when poured. The nose was a little light (my...
