Taka,
Carlo Rossi is the gallon bottle of cheap wine that
you always see in Italian homes, but there's no Carlo
Rossi in there. :-)
Let me explain. Rossi's cheap crap, so what we do is
buy it, feed it to guests who know no better and take
the empty gallon and fill it with the home made good
stuff, which, depending on vintage, can be up to 40%
alcohol (pure bench racing speculative HaneyTech
figure.) All in all, if you want to know where the
good stuff lies, look in my cellar and the wine that
is not that commercialized red color, but rather an
aesthetically unattractive, but OH SO TASTY! brown,
pulpy (never shake the bottle under penalty of death)
pale mess is the good stuff, indeed. Carlo Rossi
label be damned.
In other news, (there I go again) when I was 13, my
uncle gave me 4 1.5 litre mineral water bottles full
of the brown stuff to bring back to the old man in the
States. I cracked one open on the plane and let's
just say, when you're 13 and all you have at 30,000
feet are 3 sandwiches in your stomach and a half
bottle of "Zio Nino"s miracle juice, you sleep like a
baby for the entire 9 hour flight.
:-)
It's a good thing Nonna brought some over or I'd have
to entertain another box arriving through customs with
questionable contents and my name on it. I'm
convinced the FBI has me pegged as a terrorist.
Joe, weren't we talking about cars or something, Pizzo
