Fazi Battaglia - Verdicchio

Origin: Italy
Price: $10.95
Vintage: 2007
Date drunk: May 15th, 2009



g.: I taste turpentine. It's not bad, though. Does this mean I can now successfully drink turpentine? Please say yes.

d.: Coming out of this beer imposed retirement, I'm having difficulties. It has a watery commencement. And one damn BLANG of a terminus. It's more bitter than sour, I find, the taste-finish that is.

g.: We bought this for the bottle and the mini-scroll that came with it, honestly. We are doing the world (i.e. our home decor) a service by draining this bottle and using it in an appropriate manner. This might mean sticking a dead flower in it.



d.: The scroll has a map on it. That's worth at least $10 of the admission price. It's a really nice map. It has embossing, and gold leaf.



g.: I agree.

d.: It's not a very good wine, let's be honest.

g.: I really don't even know. It might be great and my plebe taste-buds aren't sophisticated enough to know it. I LIVE A SHELTERED LIFE, tucked away from wines that have many syllables and turpentine after-tastes.

d.: Turpentine is definitely a sign of high class wine.

g.: You should write a book and name it that.

d.: I find that the harshness of it diminishes. It's not a bad wine; it's just not great.
