On the Wine Trail in Italy

As a low-pressure way to get back into gear, how bout letting another blog do the heavy lifting today: On the Wine Trail in Italy, by A. Cevola, Italian wine director for a Dallas-based booze distributor & all-round bon vivant. OTWTII may not have very catchy initials but it duz have lotsa eenteresting eenfo about Ital wine (mostly) and la dolce vita, presented in an unexpectedly lyrical fashion, tho if you know alfonso – as do most food & wine people in dallas - that’s prob not such a surprise. He’s a renaissance guy and very plugged-in to shit before everyone else.

The man (Cevola) "was born in a vineyard"? To misquote Orson Wells, "We will birth no baby before its time."

If he was really born in a vinyard, they shoulda named him "Vinny," see what I'm sayin'?!

Where was this post before we went to Il Borro last month? ;-)

BK - how did you like il Borro?

Has anyone tried Marchesi's new place?

Al is definitely a man who knows his wine even if he does appreciate a French wine every now and again.

T.G., I say it's nice of you to give attention to another blog. It could take all your traffic away, you know.

I was hoping you had a positive experience. I have suggested il Borro as an alternative to the city slicker vacation when visiting Florence. It is always good to see that others are having as good an experience as my own.
