[aboutabruzzo] Davids ”Everyday Italian Wine - 24: With the temperature hovering around the mid-90s, it maybe wasn't the best day to uncork a bottle of hefty red wine when all I really wanted was an extremely cold beer. Under these circumstances, Sod's Law then generally dictates that the bottle of red in question is positively without question the very worst bottle of wine you've tasted ever and you then spend the rest of the day nursing the murderous headache generated by a single sip.

[elliemay's blog] Winesday: Tre Donne 2006 Gavi: Of course, any wine from pestos homeland of Liguria would be an excellent match (although Im sure people from Liguria would balk at my basil-free spinach pesto.) Some people recommend choosing a grassy, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris in keeping with the herbal nature of pesto. Others believe that any white, as long as it isn’t oaky or sweet, will be a good match for pesto.
