Yes, Donnie, and no ethnic boundaries, either, I suppose… Happy Holidays and the best in the new year to you and your family.

Your discussion of “Furbo” brings back many memories, some pleasant and some not so pleasant, of small-town life in western Pennsylvania. “Furbo” knows no geographical boundaries.

You, too, are absolutely right. I owe an apology to Mr Berra, who, I’m sure, would have a quip as interesting as Mark Twain’s reflection, when it was erroneously reported that he had been lost at sea, that “The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” Thanks for pointing out this error.

You're absolutely right, Jeremy. Thanks for your input. Although he was too modest to include the address of his blog, Do Bianchi, I recommend it as an excellent source of information about Italian wine and food. Not many bloggers can claim a Fulbright scholarship, a Ph.D. from U.C.L.A., having played in two rock bands, and accolades from wine writers ranging from Eric Asimov at The New York Times and Alice Feiring, who writes one of the best known wine blogs, Veritas in Vino. He also started, along with Italian wine writer Franco Ziliani, VinoWire.com, the first English-language blog which reports news about the Italian wine world.

“furboness”: the word I think you’re looking for is “furbizia.”
