I was trying to time it to be ready with the start of the meal. <br /><br />Most folks had thin slices, and with the turkey gravy or cranberry sauce moistness wasn't an issue. <br /><br />Michael,<br /><br />¡Viva el puerco!<br /><br />Sam,<br /><br />It would be interesting to see a wine blog based on what's actually popular by sales volume rather than what's appealing to the wine fanatic. I once got a look at some sales figures for what could charitably be called "hobo wines" and it blew my mind. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-38037964263111294222009-11-30T04:40:31.103-08:002009-11-30T04:40:31.103-08:00Benito,

We had 10 cases 2 days before Thanksgiving, we were sold out the day after.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-5535609612509410812009-11-29T19:43:32.528-08:002009-11-29T19:43:32.528-08:00I did pork for Thanksgiving brunch too!

As in, I got distracted talking to the wine shop owner and didn't grab the Chianti I was reaching for. I didn't discover what I bought until months later.<br /><br />But it was a big hit, made a lot of people happy, and I figure the market is broad enough to handle a reddish version of Moscato d'Asti (my go-to date wine until I was 25). <br /><br />Thanks for the compliments on the pork, it was delicious. The South may get kicked around for a lot of reasons, but by God, we know how to handle smoke and pig. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-35775829435815283642009-11-29T14:08:28.413-08:002009-11-29T14:08:28.413-08:00LOL We call Stella Rosa crack at our shop, if and ...LOL We call Stella Rosa crack at our shop, if and when we run out I swear people act like they might die!
