This one will really break through the clutter of cluttered and really boring Italian wine labels.
It was sent to me by Alfonso Cevola, the Italian Wine Guy always on the Italian Wine Trail whose job, astonishingly enough, is to sell a lot of Italian wine out there in flyover country. He'd put this on his site, but I suspect he is prevented from doing so by his unerring good taste. I, of course, have no such scruples.
Take a good look

speaking of flyover country ( where our cranes soar gracefully) last two Friday's local airports I have been in have been slowed down, considerably, by Air Force One and Air Force Two making landings. Really a major pain when one is trying to get home after a week on the wine trail

Air Force Two, eh? Doesn't Dick materialize where he wants to be, pitchfork in hand?

I like the Vino del Cazzo, Rosso. It makes me think that there should be a Vino del Cazzo, Bianco, perhaps an entire line of Vini del Cazzo. I couldn't read the lable very well, but at the bottom I can clearly read "Bernarda", that should pair very well with the name of the wine.

Sorry, I didn't notice the family crest: a masterpiece!

And the US marketing campaign would declare: "Dick Wine. For REAL Dicks."

Does it have any avocado overtones or undertones, as the case may be?

You'll have to ask Alfonso.

Tracie look better at the top of the label and you'll find it :)

Leave it Gabrio

thanks gabrio, but that was my attempt at irony
Posted by: tracie b | June 09, 2008 at 02:11 PM
Tracie, he is but a simple lad.
Posted by: th | June 09, 2008 at 06:12 PM
I meant to say "leave it to Gabrio". Lo, Gabrio is set up in a NYC hood that could be worse.
