That was one of Yaniger's wine descriptions, wasn't it?

If not, it should have been.

Make no mistake, people here love Barolo, but it goes against Therapy/Disorderly Geek Law 101 to talk about wines that cost more than $9 (delivered). Plus, Barolo comes from such a small, well-established, zone that even the modernists are old news.

Steve Plotnicki: first as tragedy, then as farce.

Soon Perry will be arguing that Cornas would not be considered a historically lower appellation than Hermitage by experts if there were Cornas which could measure up to Hermitage. And that furthermore, the auction markets bear this out and wines rise to their actual value in the bottle.

In keeping with a discussion about Barolo, surely you mean "Arlecchino."

Vesti la giubba e la faccia infarina,
La gente paga e rider vuole qua.
E se arlecchin tinvola Colombina,
Ridi, Pagliaccio, e ognun applaudir!

We'll be seeing this at the Met on April 2...

But is it a Commedia del Arte?
