      I just feel safer with anything heavy safely tucked away in the boot. This may have something to do with the time I was assailed by a very large and heavy tool box from the rear of a Ford Fiesta after some daft sod pulled out in front of me and forced me to jump on the brakes.

        I can see the problem. Imagine, stepping out of the car after a prang, drenched in Merlot as the police pull up. "Honestly officer I haven't been drinking and although it smells a bit like wine it isn't even fermented. You can lick me if you don't believe me."

          I've just noticed you have added Gilligiorlo to the list so I have changed my order slightly to have this as a 2nd choice for the Trebbiano.

          Also I have just payed you, hopefully.

              Updated your order - I will check the bank again a bit later to see if your payment has landed. Funny some seem real quick.

                  I haven't ordered yet, but I will do so soon - currently wandering around the garage with a tape measure and a worried expression

                          Anyone else struggling to decide between Sangiovese or Ciliegiolo. If so any points of view that may tip me one way or t'other.

                              Agreed, Sangiovese has a lot of earthy tones that can be off putting, not a fan myself.

                                Ciliegiolo is a very close relative of Sangiovese, but is much fruitier, in fact it is known as the cherry grape....

                                it does have a very cherry nose, produces a lighter fruitier wine than Sangiovese does. Sangiovese is a grape I have had a little success with (best in show 2007) but find difficult to produce repeatable results, this is, I think, more a fermentation management issue, sangiovese needing (I feel) a bit more TLC as well as attention to nutrient and yeast needs, than other varieties during fermentation. So yeast choice is more critical than some varietals, the award winning version was made with Lalvin RC-212, and the ferment went through some strange smelling phases, and needs staged nutrient additions to make good wine.....is it worth the extra effort?....sure if you want a chianti style, then you need a sangiovese base

                                hope that helps

                                regards
