Crossing the Rubicon
The expression “crossing the Rubicon" means taking an important step from which
one cannot turn back. Ancient Roman law forbade any General from crossing the
Rubicon River and entering Italy proper with a standing army; to do so was treason.
This tiny river in northern Italy would reveal Caesar's intentions and mark the point of
no return. The Wines of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Valle d’ Aosta
are known for their acidity and freshness, as well as their complexity and depth.
They are fantastic food wines, and both the whites and reds are extremely diverse
and unique. Once you explore them, it’s hard to drink anything else.

Mezzo
These include wines from Umbria, the landlocked, lush rolling hills with vines first
planted by Benedictine monks in the heartland of Italy, to mountainous, historic
Abruzzo with its untouched medieval fortresses and a glimpse of life from another
time. The wines from these regions are varied, from the crisp, versatile Trebbiano to
the lush, round Pecorino, which is named for the sheep, not the cheese; these wines
represent what the middle (mezzo) of Italy can do.

Island Treasures
Sicily and Sardegna are fairly removed from Italy, both geographically and culturally.
Sardegna, the land of sunshine and heat, has more grazing animals than vineyards.
An agricultural community, the small island is secluded and has its own unique
varietals and climate. On the other hand, Sicily has more vineyards than any other
Italian region, and while 90 percent of the D.O.C production is made into dessert wine,
the whites and reds that are also produced can be stunning.

its all Greek to me
Wine has been an important part of Greek culture for over 6500 years. The ancient
Greeks knew well the nutritional value of wine as it became an inseparable part of
their daily regimen. They loved to organize intellectual gatherings called "symposia"
where they would eat and talk about philosophical subjects while drinking wine.
They also realized the important influence of the local ecosystem on the characteristics of wine. Greece has 3,000 islands, a natural terrior of mountain vineyards,
a maritime influenced climate, volcanic and alluvial soils, and over 200 ancient
indigenous varieties.
