WineExpo Pilgrimage

[ShortWiner]

Well, I'm back and had a great time overall. WineExpo was a clear highlight. I wandered the isles in a slight daze for a while, taking delight in the fact that I recognized almost none of the labels. That hasn't happened since the first time I went to is-wine. Great fun. Finally I gave up and asked Roberto to pick out a case for me. Made sure to get some of Enzo Mecella's Rosso Piceno and a bottle of Pagor Tempranillo. Can't wait till the box arrives.

For those who haven't met Roberto, he's just as you might imagine. Energetic and speaks like he writes (I heard him ranting to another customer about silly high-scorers). Signs throughout the shop with text similar to the flyers entertained my wife for the entire length of my browsing! Miraculous!

It was a pleasure, Roberto.
