Region: Toscana
Year: 2005
This wine was produced near the region of Siena where the very popular Gallo Nero (black rooster) is made. Remole is a more fruity wine and much easier to drink than the Southern Italian wines. It goes down smooth with a satisfying finish.

- Very strong wine... Since the wine comes from the southern parts of Italy the grapes have had lots of sunlight and very little water making the grapes more concentrated. This dryness is present after each sip of wine making you feel like your mouth is dry.

woah! do you guys like Momozzarella di bufala?!? I sure do and that is this places speciality. I would recommend a brunch/lunch with colleagues who you are trying to impress. The prices are a bit steep (like all of Milan), but if your a mozzarella conoisseur than it's a must!
This place was initially discovered by Tizzy who then introduced it to me and now I've managed to show numerous other people. They all seem to like it... except the price.

Not bad over all but the atmosphere was too fast pace... reminded me of chain food
Roberto and I went to this place for lunch for an out of office meeting which turned out to be really productive. Possibly a good place to take coworkers/potential customers?

The first time I went to this place was last year (06) with Jaime. This is probably one of the better Italian restaurants I like to take guests to. It has an authentic taste and atmosphere for pizza. The wine however is from a giant barrel and doesn't have much flavor.

Dogs are forever in the push up position
This shirt is dry clean only. Which means... It's dirty.
I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughtnut... I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. I give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I can't imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. To some skeptical friend, Don't even act like I didn't buy a doughnut, I've got the documentation right here... It's in my file at home. ...Under "D".
Someone handed me a picture and said, "This is a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture of you is when you were younger. "...Here's a picture of me when I'm older." Where'd you get that camera man?
I like cinnimon rolls, but I don't always have time to make a pan. That's why I wish they would sell cinnimon roll incense. After all I'd rather light a stick and have my roommate wake up with false hopes.
People teach their dogs to sit, it's a trick. I've been sitting my whole life, and a dog has never looked at me as though he thought I was tricky.
An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. You would never see an "Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order" sign, just "Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience."
Every time I go and shave, I assume there is somebody else on the planet shaving as well, so I say, "I'm gonna go shave too."
I type a 101 words a minute. But it's in my own language.
The next time I move I hope I get a real easy phone number, something like 2222222. People will ask, "Mitch, how do I get a hold of you?" I'll say, "Just press two for a while, when I answer, you'll know that you've pressed two enough."
My lucky number is 4 billion, that doesn't come in real handy when your gambling. I'm gonna need some more dice, 4 billion divided by 6, at least.
A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap.
You know they call corn-on-the-cob, "corn-on-the-cob", but that's how it comes out of the ground. They should just call it corn, and every other type of corn, corn-off-the-cob. It's not like if someone cut off my arm they would call it "Mitch", and then re-attached it, and call it "Mitch-all-together".
I like buying snacks from a vending machine because food is better when it falls. Sometimes at the grocery, I'll drop a candy bar so that it will achieve its maximum flavor potential.
On a traffic light yellow means yield, and green means go. On a banana, it's just the opposite, yellow means go ahead, green means stop, and red means, where'd you get that banana?
My roommate says, "I'm going to take a shower and shave, does anyone need to use the bathroom?" It's like some weird quiz where he reveals the answer first.
I think pickles are cucumbers that sold out. They sold their soul to the devil, and the devil is dill...
...and then at the end of the letter I like to write "P.S. - this is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.
I don't have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who'd be mad at me for saying that.
The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how good I get, I'll never be as good as a wall.
My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, I said "No, but I want a regular banana later, so, Yeah."
