Ya know, T, it's just possible that Foodie may have been referring to how you used your command of the Queen's English to put down my definition of Classico. Just my impression of course, but I may be wrong. As you may, or may not, be aware, I was referring to Classico as one of the seven Chianti regions. For Matteson's benefit, the wines from Chianti are from seven named sub regions, which are Colli Senesi, Collini Pisane, Colli Aretini, Rufina, Montalbano, Colli Fiorentino and, of course, Classico. Classico is not necessarily always the best wine from Chianti, as Tastevin implies. Oftentimes, Chianti Collini Pisane surpasses Chianti Classico, though it's not as available. In fact, after Classico, Rufina is the most available Chianti in the U.S.
