I’m met Italians. I’ve eaten dinner with Italians. You, sir, are no Italian.

Is that you, Bernie?

I’ll take the limoncello any day over grappa. I was first introduced to grappa by an Italian business associate of my husband. I couldn’t believe how nasty it was. Many years later we were in an Italian restaurant ,in Puerto Rico, and were offered a taste of their homemade grappa. It came in a variety of flavors. My husband declined but I tried it and it wasn’t bad.

We spent 2 months in Italy last year. We bought a bottle of this. We could not finish it. It just wasn’t our thing. Nothing wrong with that!
