Lambrusco

Welcomes back to House Wine, because as I say at the top of this episode - which ever wine you have in your glass that is your house wine.\\xa0
This week I made the classic mistake of thinking that I knew and understood a region without actually having done much reading or research on it, ha! A testament to the fact that there is always something more to learn and understand about wine. Also a lesson to myself not to just assume I know something. I learned so much this week.\\xa0
Why is Lambrusco Italy's quintessential food wine? How can there be so many varieties of the same grape? Is it sweet or is it dry? This is the official Lambrusco demystified.\\xa0
I leaned heavy on some resources this week, I really needed to hit the books to make this one happen:\\xa0
