I had been too
busy to keep up with reading my Decanter magazines, so I had let my
subscription lapse. I am however still on their email list and from time to
time, I will browse their Web depending of what catches my fancy in their
promotional emails. Recently I came across an article "Uncharted
Italy" in which Richard Baudains shared his pick of the 10 best original
but overlooked Italian wines just waiting to be discovered. I found that I had
tasted 7 out of the 10 DOC(G)s he wrote about and a few of these were
discovered by me at the HKIWSF over the years. One wine - Cerasuolo di Vittorio
was the subject of a blog entry in the last three weeks. As for the Lambruscos,
I had already read about it from Decanter by the time I went to Chiang Mai in
August 2003: I saw a stand in a shopping mall carrying a Lambrusco di Sorbara and bought it. So for the next few
Fridays, we will explore some original Italians (both from that article and a
few others as well).
