In a continuing series on the 2008 Presidential election, The Italian Cellar is pleased to present an exclusive interview with another lover of Italian wine, Senator John McCain’s goiter.
TIC: "What first attracted you to Italian wine?"
Sen.McC'sG: "Well, since I am a goiter, I can’t see or smell, so I think I would have to say taste. Because of their wonderful sense of proportion; the balance of fruit, acid and tannin, Italian wines accentuate, rather than dominate the food they’re served with. The regional differences of Italy also impart their nuances on the wine; the heat of Puglia adds spice, the fog of the Langhe helps ripen the plush Nebbiolo. The regional nuances are also reflected in the regional foods; each is blessed by one another’s company. Italian wines are truly unique in this regard."
TIC: "Has Senator McCain had you looked at by a doctor?"
Sen.McC'sG: "I’m asked that all the time. Of course he has; the Senator has been declared fit as any seventy-one year old man with skin cancer and a goiter!"
TIC: "Red or White?"
Sen.McC'sG: "Red, of course!"
TIC: "How does someone not know how many houses they own?"
Sen.McC'sG: "Well…..you know the words "house" and "own" can be tricky things to define….."
TIC: "Sarah Palin??!!"
Sen.McC'sG: "No comment."
TIC: "Senator McCain’s Goiter; thank you for your time."
Sen.McC'sG: "It was my pleasure."
The Italian Cellar: "Senator McCain’s Goiter, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule for this interview."
Senator McCain’s Goiter: "It’s a pleasure to be here – and by here, I mean both doing this interview and on the Senator’s face."
