Haha .... Italian brandy is warmed a bit rather than cooled.

I thought the glass in the center of the pic had ice cubes in it...

But that's the versatility of the Blue Note stones: one could warm them in the oven and then add them to brandy.

It has! I think that is rather unusual. I never saw anybody drink Vecchia Romagna on the rocks.

At least the photo shown on the product box doesn't have ice cubes. 😁

Maybe the staff at the advertising agency didn't drink the stuff and assumed wrongly about ice cubes. Or more likely, they just figured the photo would look better with them included.

I've never heard of this wine. By the name, i would guess that it was from an Australian wine company. I see that it's from Oregon. I don't think I've ever seen it on any shelves around here so maybe they are not distributed out this way?

Small production. Probably mailing list only. Nice wines. FWIW, great reviews.

Finished this bottle tonight, which I opened o Sunday. Average.

Very nice Pinot Grigio - I will buy some more of this.
