Wow, over two years old and this thread floated.

California zinfandel is the same grape as Puglia primitivo, from the heel of Italy. See http://tinyurl.com/2xqypz

what's ttt mean ? and what's the story with "trolls"?

Hi D,

ttt means "to the top". Every time a new posting is added to a thread, the thread goes to the top of the list.

"Trolling" comes from fishing, where one slowly drags bait through the water to see what rises to grab it. Thus, a troll is someone who posts an outrageous remark to see who will rise to the bait.

march123 - My husband and I didn't drink for many years until after our second trip to Europe. We realized that we were missing out on an important part of the culture while we were travelling. Plus, paying for soda was so much more expensive than a glass of wine or mug of beer. So with the help of many recommendations from our friends, we have learned to enjoy the finer pleasures of imbibing.

Our only problem now is that I prefer wine and my husband prefers beer! Peace, Robyn :)>-
