Egg shaped fermentation tanks ...

It has been a while, but today I learned about something that I considered worth posting about.
I read about egg shaped concrete fermentation tanks used to produce wine which apparently make sure that due to their shape the fermentation is much more complete due to the fluid dynamics of the system.

Marchesi Alfieri La Tota

We received a bottle of Marchesi Alfieri La Tota wine from friends a while ago and drank it yesterday with a Lasagna we cooked for ourselves: It was wonderful !!!

Very nice dark color, not too much acids (which is a typical problem for a lot of Italian wines IMHO), some spices that remain on the tongue after drinkin.

Reality TV and wine ...

Although I am not a fan of reality TV as such this one seems quite interesting (related to wine ;-))
