I have tried it in the past, but forgot about it. As for her first name, I do know most people refer to her as Elisabetta, but I prefer using her full name, especially for readers.tom hylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059595835440742055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4840230708436051577.post-71368230729438488592010-02-11T07:39:00.288-06:002010-02-11T07:39:00.288-06:00Dear Tom, thanks for the great report!

Just two minor points: the "Fiore" is not the entry-level bottling at Montenidoli (there is also a "Vernaccia Tradizionale"), and the legendary lady behind Montenidoli is normally referred to as Elisabetta, not Maria. Other than that, I can only join you in wishing her great longevity - I believe these are some of the best wines being made in Italy!
