2000 Fiorentini Valpocella

A delightful warm evening introduction to the Ginster, Rosie Runstable, and El Chimpy over platefuls of heaping Lasagna ending with a froth of Stilton. More holes were filled in the spotty history of AD and Josephine from these prime sources of familial intelligence. But first to the wine: legless and watery, perhaps just as advertised. Also "Gutsy for something out of Italy", "Mellow and round", Chimpy: "Its not really dry like the others. Smooth and not rough. Long aftertaste. Wine is not sharp" ", Rosie: "Oh, you tried it did you Chimpy?" "Duh, that's why your glass was missing!" Josephine: "I'd smack his hand!" A piece of cork was later found afloat.
