Little guy taking a swing at politics

I suppose raising kids is a challenge. But things get a little more complicated when you find out that your newest family member has begun a campaign without consulting you first.

#104 Nerello Mascalese

How does this blogging thing work again? It's been a very long time since my last post so please bear with me as I catch up on my wine quest.

About a month ago I tried a bottle of Nerello Mascalese from Di Giovanna and I remember it as great value and very drinkable. It is a Sicilian grape which is widely used as a blending grape. In this case it stood by itself quite well.

I am due for another trip to the wine shops soon and have my eye on a few more varietals to extend this quest further into the 100's. Soon I will be submitting my paperwork to officially become a member of the "Wine Century Club".... (at that point this will become a quite expensive pay site so please be prepared.... in these times of economic uncertainty it is important to be thoroughly advised on peripheral wine varietals)
