TH

I came up with 4 more while I was debating whether to get up or not.

1. Rossese
2. Sylvaner
3. Muller-Thurgau
4. Pinot grigio (how could I have forgotten?!)


So I'm at 89 -- ones I've actually tasted. I think I'm on a quest now...

TH

Teroldego!

Frappato!

OK, there's #91.

Can you think of anything else?

michele colline

Albana, cornalin, fumin, petite arvine, petite rouge, prie blanc, favorita, centesimino, and ciliegiolo....100!

TH

Michele, non sono certo d'aver mai assaggiato questi...ma possibile aggiungere Zibibbo, #92.

Ciliegiolo, si. #93. Fumin? Credo ma assolutamente non sono certo! Non aggiungo alla lista.

Grazie per l'aide-memoire, buona Pasquetta!

Marco

nerello mascacalese
nerello cappuccino

Marco

it's not "caca" i screwed up

M.Uva

Marco, I'm guessing the Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappucio come from Palari Faro, so where's the Nocera?!?! (that's 3)

Doug Cook

Hmmm. A couple more wacky ones:

Carricante
Cagnulari
Timorasso
Erbaluce
Torbato
Ruché
Nuragus

(As an aside, the 100-wines thing, were you thinking of the Wine Century Club?)...

TH

Carricanti, Ruche, Erbaluce! Yes! Thanks!

Not sure about Timorasso but I will claim nothing without a specific recollection.

Si, the WCC.

Hey, thanks to you commenters, I've nearly hit 100!

After that, forget about keeping track.

AC

I had Uva Longanesi last week from Emilia- Romagna ( Drei Dona winery)

and had Timorasso at the TB tasting in SF

Dr. Debs

Jeez, I'm in the bush leagues on this one. Was all excited to contribute Ruche, but Doug beat me to it.

TH

Aww, Debs, I just thank you for CARING.

Actually, I got some very good help from the comments, so I'm thrilled skinny, as they'd say in the Oulde Sod.

borntowine

carmenere? casetta foja tonda? oseletta?
ciao terry, a presto.

Marco

No something more reasonable, that is until one tries to obtain it again with the dollar sucking toads.

TH

These audience participation posts always do so well. Lots of comments. These were pretty constructive, folks, and thanks.

Two meta-comments (comments on comments, sometimes on top of comments)...

AC, show-off! I can't win against you.

Marco, what the...??
