Bummer. Got to see her perform at a blues festival in Dallas probably over 25 years ago.
I went to an incredible Giacosa dinner about 5 years ago that really showed me how great the wines are. Just picked up some 01 Falletto di Serralunga last week. RIPquote:Originally posted by VinCentric:

Not to put him down or anything, but it seems like being a weatherman in San Diego would be a pretty easy job.
