ATTENTION WINE HISTORY PEOPLE!!!!!!

[cellarmate]

I don't think I have seen such an animated debate since the discussion on whether it was actually the milennium or whether it is next year or whether Pope Gregory et al made it six years ago or whatever. If you guys were that intimidating to wine novices this board would not exist as the enjoyable resource that it is. Thanks for picking the right fights. All I can say is that southern Italy has some sleepers in the Salice Salentino varietals for a nice little pasta wine in the $5! price range; where not getting a headache from a glassfull is one of the tasting sheet questions. (not to change the subject from the great chateaus) Welcome to my world.
