And I don't have to worry about supporting the French, as Italian wines make French wines takes like oak and dirt......
Mmmmm.....Valpolicella.....

It's ok....see my post #5.
To: The Coopster
Actually, Valpolicella is considered one of their weaker wines. Try a barolo or a amarone.
To: The Coopster
Oh, by the way, agree totally with you about boycotting French wines.

...once a bottle is uncorked, even if it is an organic Burgundy, oxygen in the air begins to break down the resveratrol so that any wine kept overnight will have little of it left. The answer to that problem is to never allow a bottle to sit unfinished for an extended period of time. Cheers!

still boycotting French wine Me too. Nothing but California, Italian, Australian and Spanish wines for the past year in this household!
To: mountaineer
Tons of good selections from that list of countries.

Amarones are the tops, but I'd hate to spring one on the unsuspecting. Valpolicellas are smooth (read:weak) enough not to scare the uninitiated.
I can't recall if I've had a Barolo or not. It sounds familiar, but after a hundred bottles or so, it all gets a little fuzzy.....
All credit to Buca di Beppo for turning me on to them.....
I used to moonlight there, and we'd "sample" the daily special wines before each shift, over dinner together. What a concept! Usually the result of the taste test was that we'd chip in and by the remaining bottles of special wine, and take it to someone's place for some more "sampling".
Like languages, I refer to it as the immersion method.....
To: mylife
I was just wondering whether to pop something open tonight. California Merlot! I guess a little resveratrol will have to be better than none.
To: The Coopster
Barolos are a northwest Italian wine. Full bodied not quite as many tannins as the Amarones but delicious with a lot of grape flavor. I agree with you about the "bigger" wines. Another problem with the barolos and amarones are that, if they are not aged enough, they will tear your tonsils out with the tannins. That's enough to discourage new Italian wine drinkers.
To: mylife
I drank an entire bottle of amarone last night....all by myself.

Pretty lady like you? You must have wanted to be alone. Or maybe you just didn't want to share the bottle.
