American Girl in Italy

How does the blue mold get in Gorgonzola? Have you ever heard the rocks at Castiglioncello sing and why do writers always seek solace in Italy? Time for me to find the answers to these and see, if in doing so, I also find my home.

Location: Rome, RM, Italy

i am actually the lost royal heir to the small kingdom of Birundi...having been secreted away by my wet nurse when mean overlords arrived turning our little known, yet terribly chic fiefdom into a nasty republic. now my people sit glued with their eyes glazed.....dreaming of distant IRA's and stock options, having long forgotten the taste of sweet green olive oil and the scent of rosemary.

Wine and well...more wine.

OK many people have commented on why I haven't blogged in a dogs age but the fact of the matter is Life interrupted. First surgery, with nasty overtones of pending doom which thankfully have turned out to be less dire and then a boo koo of writing work and personal angst that has kept my creative pen less than dry.

To change that I am adding two links. One, to my most recent wine article, which aside from some HTML problems...I like a lot.

A Multitude of Zins


The second is to toot the horn of a fellow wine aficionado and colleague Gary Vaynerchuk. Gary tilts at the wine world's windmills reminding folks that wine is about taste and not about pretentiousness. His motto is “You, with a little bit of me… we’re changing the wine world.”

If you haven't seen him setting the wine world on end, take a look. He tapes almost daily and aside from actually being reachable by e-mail, he's bound to make you smile. I like his style because like me, he reminds you that drinking wine is about enjoying yourself, not about being pretentious.
