Well, no one else (AHEM, RBoulanger) has risen to any of this, and I've imbibed sufficiently (if you've never had a Negroni with Amaro Nonino and Cinzano, you really must) this evening that I fear neither simply skipping the questions on which I haven't the foggiest nor getting the ones I think I might know wrong. If nothing else, it gets things started. Here goes:
9. I've forgotten the name, but you pour the wine, without touching your lips to the spout, into your mouth. It's used in the northwestern region of Spain, where they speak... a language whose name also escapes me at the moment.
11. Sicily?
13. Drink grappa.

Also, I've *been* to 3, but I'm failing to come up with the name right now. I realize how ridiculous that not just sounds but is.

Oh, and Greg? It's probably best to rehost images like this to avoid upsetting their owners but also, in this case, to avoid giving away the answer. (I just went for a closer look at number 3 by viewing the original image URL and, well...)

Pictures are loading slowly, but as the first three come up I see Cos d'Estournel in Saint Estephe, Chateau Montelena in Napa, and Robert Mondavi winery in Napa.
Will post later after I check out what's going on with my connection and reboot...
