I got taken with this replica of a traditional Sicilian wine cask today, so it now adorns the top of one of my bookcases. The man in the wine merchant's - where you can take your empty mineral water bottle and have it filled with wine from a much larger version of such a cask - says the old people used to pull out the cork in the side and drink straight from the barrel.

I've had Greek retsina from the barrel and it is really strong and tasty. If you serve it from a carafe, I'm sure it will not disappoint - wish I could join you for a glass of the Sicilian grape.
good evening
skan from rome here
Ciao, Skan di Roma. Trovo sempre interessante il tuo blog e ci tornerò spesso. Non capisco sempre le immagine ma, provando di capirle, imparo delle cose nuove - e questo è molto importante per me. Grazie.
How funny! It probably tastes best that way.
That's beautiful. I love things like that! ~M
