I like wine as I like my men, dark, rich, fruity and dry. I love that joke. Never gets old. Tonight I'm enjoying a 2012 Shiraz. I go in streaks. For awhile I was drinking nothing but Malbec '11. Then the '12 came out and they changed the terroir. That's another joke. Mother nature changes the terroir. But if you want to give a gift of wine, make it Shiraz, its cousin Petit Sirah or Malbec. Cheaper, more flavorful, even that the traditional Italian Chianti (Sangiovese). A fancy basket and Dean Martin do not necessarily a better wine make.
Arrivederci Roma, Hello Shiraz
