First, a correction: Luciano Ciolfi of Podere di San Lorenzo has emailed me and said that his wine is indeed available in a number of states. New York is not one of them. (New Jersey is!) Someone should correct this deplorable state of affairs.

On another note, illustrious Italian blogger and wine statesman, Giampiero Nadali, will be arriving in New York tomorrow after a week in the Bay Area. "Aristide" will be here to sample our fair city's restaurants and examine their wine lists as well as visit yours truly. He will be accompanied by Laura, the psychedelic-cat lady; she is after all a poet and can get away with such things.
They will be able to attend the Crunk Coronation of my groupie, Lisa Qiu, on Wednesday evening. They'd better show up because we did change the date of that momentous event to suit their schedule.
By the way, I used the phrase "momentous event" with full consciousness of its current description of Obama's win in insignificant little old Iowa. Tell me, ye who scoff, did ever a wine blog crown a groupie till now?
I didn't think so.
you are indeed in the vanguard.

Un saluto a te, a Giampiero ed a Laura.
Consiglierei una visita da Morrell, per far vedere ad Aristide come vengono trattati i vini italiani.
ciao

Giuseppe, we will do GPN a favor and get him out of Midtown. Too many tourists, especially Italians!

Yo yo yo yo yo, are you familiar with Chuck Norris jokes? I.e.: Chuck Norris doesn't consider it sex if the women survives... etc.
CHUCK NORRIS was standing RIGHT behind HUCKABEE during Huckamuck's victory speech! AH AHAHAHA.
