...Freedom Trail, no less, two doors from the house where Paul Revere lived. We might be under British rule today if Limoncello were open back then, because there was no way Paul Revere was getting up on that horse after Maurizio's veal parm and a bottle of Chianti...
...there is only one role with which Hopkins, now 63, has haunted us: Hannibal the Cannibal--the very, very bad doctor with a taste for Chianti, fava beans and internal human organs--in 1991's The Silence of the Lambs.

Obiter dictum, the word “fiasco” alludes to another bygone era of Italy. One in which an opera singer’s wretched performance was greeted by a barrage of wine flasks or “fiasci” at the offending artist. Hence the fiasco. But I digress. The supertuscan promiscuously blends a veritable smorgasbord of internationally known grape varieties. The veneer...
