    taurasi deal huh? i didn't realize any wnba players had their own wines :mrgreen:


    gotta love a chairman's selection. i will look for that. thanks

    Haha. Taurasi is an Italian DOC from the Campania region. It's made from the aglianico grape (ahhl-YAN-ee-co). The same producer/region has good white wines - greco di tufo, fiano & falenghina.

    Italian wine is pretty crazy - they grow about 3,000 different grapes throughout the country. France has, like, 30. I have no evidence to back up these stats.

    French are very good at losing. Since they don't want to admit it, they usually get away with a definitive statement, like 'The best wines are French. Wines are French. We invented the whole concept of wine. If any other country out there makes wines, that must be out of pure spite and jealousy. We own that whole wine thing'.
    :lol:

    I need to check that statistic thing, we just can't be loosing again, can we ? :D

    On a wine note though, I am always down for some Malbec with a steak.

    What you know about the finger lakes??? Good times, although the wine overall is fairly bad, it's a great fucking time.

    used to hit the cayuga trail every year...good roadtripping fun w/ family. there was also one over off of seneca that resembled a hunting lodge rather than a winery...can't think of the name of it, but it was a sportsman and wine drinker's paradise.

    agree wine is so-so, but it's a great time!
    I love to turn you on
