Mr. Scarpitti, we have now arrived at the crux of the matter.

If you know NOTHING about wines which are not Italian, then in fact YOU KNOW
NOTHING!!!!!!!

You are a prejudiced racist, with an acute case of FITH disease.

Go away, troll.

Since Italy produces more wine and more kinds of wine than any other
nation, your response makes no sense.

The F_____ are cowards and useless to boot. I'm not prejudiced. Not at
all. Can you name a single great Renaissance artist from F_____ off
the top of your head? No? Do you know why? It's a trick question.
There weren't any.

I do beg your pardon, Sir.

Perhaps you missed this point I made earlier in this thread:

I have enjoyed many, many, many, wines from all around Italy, Sicily,
and Sardinia.

Have you ever tasted Giacomo Bologna's Barberas? Fabulous!
Grignolino from Bruno Giacosa? Chionetti's Dolcetto di Dogliani?
Valentini's Trebbiano di Abruzzo? Cosimo Taurino's Patrigliano?
Amarone? Vermentino? Morellino di Scansano?

etc. etc. etc.

I know I shouldn't respond to this, but it's hard to let prejudiced drivel go
by. No, I can't name a great Renaissance artist from France. But for that
matter, I couldn't name a a great Renaissance artist from Southern Italy (Italy
wasn't a country then).

It's no secret that at various times of human development bursts of creativity
have centered in small pockets - ancient Athens, 14th century Florence, Paris
in the 19th and early 20th century,Weimar Berlin, New York City in the 1950s,
etc. I can't imagine any intelligent human man would not offer these periods as
somehow proof that present-day Greeks, Italians, French, Germans, or Americans
were somehow superior ("can you name a single great 19th century painter from
Italy?").

Congratulations Mr. Scarpitti, you have become only the third resident of my
killfile.

An elaborate ritual might be pointless, but a few minutes
or more of exposure to air in a glass or decanter has
plenty of base in experience.

Well, there are two things that happen in decantering. One is that
more surface area of the liquid is brought into contact with the air,
thus exposing it to our noses. The other is that air is mixed into the
liquid. The former allows the aromas to present themselves to us,
which is good. The latter allows oxygen to mix into the liquid, which
is bad. It may take a while before the oxidation becomes noticeable,
but it begins at once.
