My case for cheap Italian sparkling red during this holiday season. Along with bottle picks and a wild lambrusco cocktail recipe named from a Pynchon novel.
Drinking a bottle of the Cleto Chiarli Vecchia Lambrusco right now. My local wine shop introduced me to it and it is excellent. Dry, tart, fizzy, and fruity.

I am one of boomers you speak of in regard to Lambrusco. It has been wine kryptonite for me since those awful days....
After reading your piece, I will sally forth and give it a fresh chance. Thanks. Enjoy your work a lot.
