Traveling, a busy social calendar and Thanksgiving kept me from writing, yet provided ample opportunity to taste new wines and revisit familiar ones.

		<description><![CDATA[Wine lovers just might all be &#8220;Hedonists in the Cellar.&#8221; I picked up Jay McInerney&#8217;s book of the same title on the return leg of my holiday in London after devouring &#8220;Eating Animals,&#8221; which just might have turned me semi-vegitarian, if there is such a thing.

		<description><![CDATA[In the past few years I&#8217;ve noticed Sicilian wines erupting more frequently on restaurant and bar menus. One of my favorite Sicilians of late is the Murgo Brut, which is a sparkler from the Mount Etna region made from the Nerello Mascalese grape. For years I&#8217;ve enjoyed Nero D&#8217;Avola, which is a local grape yielding [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=krista2000.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10760817&amp;post=634&amp;subd=krista2000&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

With that in mind, I had the Ah So ready to use when opening the 1961 Giacomo Borgogno Barolo.
