2000 Villa Rossa Barolo

[wondersofwine]

I encountered a local (?) blue law when I attended a Charlotte Panthers game at Clemson Stadium before the Panthers stadium in Charlotte was ready. I stayed overnight Sunday night in Greenville, SC rather than drive back after the game (motels in Clemson were full). Went to an Italian restaurant Sunday night and asked for a chianti. The waitress said "We don't serve wine--it's Sunday!" as if I were a backsliding sinner. I wanted to bring up Jesus drinking wine with the disciples, turning water into wine at Cana etc. but didn't see the point. I think in Fayetteville the restaurants don't serve liquor on Sunday before noon but this was dinner time in South Carolina.
