Josh, if you don't have time for another hobby, definitely DON'T take up golf! :) It will consume you!

Thanks for the rec vino veritas! It's really a shame that these wines don't make their way to the states... maybe one day, wines of the world will be free to be enjoyed by everyone!

There are so many nice Chianti's out there. Unfortuately, may of them never make it to the States. One of our favorite Italian wines is the 2001 Dievole Plenum Quartus.

The schweaty gondolier's wife beater analogy is enough to keep me away from this wine for a while. Its like my favorite wine description which I coined - it smells like a schweaty homeless guy eating a bag of frito corn chips over a rubber tire fire. Lovely! However, memorable.
