There was at least 60+ for the Cornelissen/Graci/Biondi dinner at I Trulli. Etna's the new black.

Maybe, maybe not. The prices, in general, have never been low. More folks showing interest probably won't help that from a consumer point of view. Unless more shipments from Sicilian ports brings better economies of scale to the wholesalers.

But, I mean, of course the wines can be wonderful.

Etna's the new black.

Etna's always been pretty much black, though.

Yah, I think they tried that in 2004 or so, and it flopped.

According to Frank, flor does actually grown on Etna. It's sort of a problem actually. I know... I know.
