...To these unesteemed pages.
1. Report on a comparative tasting of 9 Greco di Tufos from small producers in the Greco zone. A Vitignoitalia event emceed by Luciano Pignataro of Il Mattino.
2. Short description (hardly a review) of the ubiquitous Mr. Pignataro's dandy little guide to the wines of the Irpinia section of Campania, which includes the prized Greco di Tufo and Aglianico Taurasi zones. Brand new, a wonderful resource for adventuresome wine tourists and scouts who can read Italian.
3. More of my stupid stuff, specially devised to cheese you off and prompt you to write vile things. Remember: you'll only encourage me.
BTW, it's about 100 degrees here in Naples today. Blistering blue sky. Nice as long as I'm sitting in air-conditioned comfort.
Tomorrow, Vitignioitalia, the Final Frontier.
And then home to my de-luxe apartment in the sky. It's as big as a four-car garage in Highland Park, Texas, with the basketball hoop and concrete apron even!
look forward to seeing you when you get back. Anything good we can drink?

I think the hoop was stowed under the bed along with my Exploding Plastic Inevitable and Robert Johnson CDs.
