At least the Austro-Hungarian Empire had good taste in wine during that stretch.<br /><br />These are fun picnic and BBQ wines, and lots of people actually believe that the grapes are picked by inmates of a California penitentiary. Makes for a good story for your more gullible friends. ;)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-4219873140272149472011-09-03T07:30:33.733-07:002011-09-03T07:30:33.733-07:00it's remarkable how restrained the alc is in t...it's remarkable how restrained the alc is in these wines... I love thinking about categories like this... wines made under duress... it reminds me of all the tales of winemaking and wine adulteration in WWII Italy... Biondi Santi famously pissed in his wines before he gave them to the Germans... <br /><br />I don't think I'd ever go near these wines but I love this post man... once again showing how wine is a pretext for us to dive into history and culture... making us reflect on why and HOW we're here...Do Bianchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744434741371288465noreply@blogger.com
