WINE TALK

From 1964!

Conterno Barolo 1964

That’s you, isn’t it Ken? Well done!

#3

I wish it was me! I think it’s Roberto.

#4

It’s not American, it’s Italian. [shrug.gif]

#5

Who’s reaction? WTF are you talking about?

#6

Why do you generalize from me to America?

I originally titled this thread “NSFW Barolo Label” simply because I wanted get people’s attention (though apparently this only worked on you and Neal). If I had titled it “Interesting Barolo Label” not that many people would have looked. Then I thought perhaps people would take me seriously and not open the thread at work or even move it to NSFW. That’s why I put the “Almost” in there.

It was all tongue in cheek, intended to be amusing and eye catching.

Do you think of me as some sort of “typical puritanical American”? [scratch.gif]

BTW the original is an etching by Picasso:

which was stolen in Seattle in 2007:

Thanks for sharing this, Ken. An interesting conversation piece for sure.

How much would a bottle like this fetch if available?

#9

That’s one hairy dude!

#10

Perhaps, though it seems it was a private bottling, so maybe not.

#11

NOTHING pure about Dr. Vas! [snort.gif]

No? shit! Ive been wasting my evenings praying to Saint Vastola before I go to bed…

#13

You should pray to St. Valentine instead. All Vastolas originate from San Valentino Torio.
