Wide and I love the stuff, hard to find around here though. Impossible so far. Found in SoCal a few times at least.

You think you’re some big shot because you know all these things.

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

But you know more about the food and drink than I do.

Not mom though and certainly not grandma when she was alive :)

And I got to have homemade gnocchi, Sicilian pizza and Cavetelli.

I vote to kick you off the board. And out of the US.

An acquired taste for me, I’m afraid. I worked with a fan of the stuff for 17 years. Every time I tried it I was reminded of gasoline. A taste I got sucking gas from the car to the mower in my youth. My friend waxed poetic about the swill, so I guess it proves that tastes vary.

Had 7 shots of different kinds of grappa and went skiing on the Sella Ronda. Lots of fun.

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!
