Montepulciano d\'Abruzzo

[Colt45]

I love the grape and the wines from the region. Usually softer and rounder than

wines from other regions in Italy, but retaining the astringent tannins I associate

with Italian wines. (I'm sipping some at the moment :-) )

I love Italy even though I've never been, and think it would be a great country for

the FOH world wide get together (no, I'm not inebriated).

Couple this with the fact that the Red Sox were down 6 to 2 in the 8th, but came

back to win 7-6 (sorry, not trying to bust nuts), and the weekend is starting out right.

I raise my glass to all who've had a difficult week.

spent the last two weeks moving (still to find somewhere to go - have lobbed at my mother's beach house for a while - and no, she is not there) and then doing my taxes. nightmare.

finally a chance to enjoy a few smokes (and won't mum cut off the cods when she finds i have been smoking cigars indoors). they've never tasted better.

and i am also a fan of montepulciano but don't see enough.

Not really related to d'Abruzzo, but Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is also a fantastic wine, which I enjoyed a half bottle tonight. I do also enjoy d'Abruzzo.

I'm also a fan of Vino Nobile, but it has become a bit pricey. Avignonesi makes a

nice one.

I'm a fan of Gattavecchi for a good value.

perhaps i should have directed some of those school funds to you and not your kids. then you would have understood where it says that i am not living with mother, that i am not living with mother!!

i have typed this as slowly as i possibly can so you can understand.

Oh, I can SO relate to that feeling of elation at the comeback victory and the ensuing others... (with that little hiccup on Saturday night! ;-) ). And I highly recommend a trip or two to Italy soon! Drinking the wines (and eating the greatest of food) on location is so nice! I'm a big fan of Italian reds too, although I'd love to see some of the super Tuscans drop a tad in price if possible. But then again, I'm sure our dollar isn't going to allow that.

I like the Avignonesi as well.

Secco Bertani Valpo is quite nice too.

Go Sox!

so deeply hurt by these cruel and unfounded single bloke accusations from some of you guys that i decided to invite a few friends around to comfort me. and this photo was not touched, chopped or whatever else one does with photos.
