Sicily

Hi friends, welcome back! I now release the show on Tuesdays, so if you were thinking that I missed the release day yesterday... well, I did. BUT it was intentional. 

Ever wanted to try wine from a still active volcano? Maybe you have been sitting at home wondering to yourself about the origins of Carricante, or just hoping that one day Kylie Minogue will start making wine - well it's all here in this weeks episode on the dry wines of Sicily. Just to clarify, Kylie Minogue is not making wines in Sicily, she is making wine in Australia which makes more sense, but it somehow snuck it's way into the episode today. 

I have some great resources: 

The Oxford Companion to Wine, 4th Edition by Jancis Robinson 

Native Wine Grapes of Italy by Ian D'Agata 

Wine Grapes by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vouillamoz

Vino Italiano, The Regional Wines of Italy by Joseph Bastianich and David Lynch 

I also talk about some great wineries:
