Quinta da Alorna Branco (White) 2011. Just the most lovely floral fresh bouquet with notes of pineapple, and delicate citrus. The wine comes across as approachable and luscious with a good mouth feel to balance the acidity and residual sweetness.

There's someone I know who will understand this ...

Hey, Lid! Look, your store.

So delicious, so homemade, this is the Italian restaurant to beat in Miami.

Mamma Rosinelli still cracks the whip in the kitchen at the restaurant that bears her name. I am in town for the Miami International Wine Fair and I need a good place to eat. Found it!

I paused a few moments outside to see the servers bring piping hot dishes to their patrons on the outdoors pedestrian street. I could see they all looked fabulous. So I ventured inside. I ordered the Fettuccine Bolognese. Handmade and fresh. Meat sauce to die for.

Owner-sons Tonino and Roberto made sure I was well looked after. Indeed I was. Superb in every way!
