| Backpacking through Italy -- I'm the last guy. Typical Italian Vineyard to the right |
Syllabus
Whining in the Bronx
Spring 2012
Description
In college? Same. Not a lot of money to spend on wine these days – tough economic times. Every bottle will be about $25 or less. I’ll tell you where the bottle was purchased (most likely the same place every time…) and what’s going on with the wine itself: where it’s from, year, and what makes it “different” from other wines. As you’ll see, wine gets its taste (and price) from a vineyard’s location in combination with some other key production factors.
As a local Italian woman once told me, “There are 3 stages of drinking wine: feeling light as bird, strong as a lion, and stupid like a jackass.” Hopefully this blog will get you to stage 3 but with some knowledge, not stupidity.
