Twilight Zone-Like Coincidences






Submitted for your approval, an Italian wine blog, neither informative nor fun, recently reviewed wines from two separate producers that both began making wines in 1972. What does this mean? Perhaps nothing, but coincidentally, the Sartarelli Verdicchio which was reviewed on June 12th, was the same wine mentioned in the May 21st imagined interview with 2008 American Idol winner and Italian wine lover David Cook (who interestingly enough, was not born in 1972). But what remains a mystery; a middle ground, if you will, is an area between light and shadow, between science and superstition that lies somewhere between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge, is that 1972 was also the year in which the Andes plane crash occurred whereby the passengers resorted to cannibalism to survive......I wonder what wine would go good with that......
