In case you haven't seen it, Stanley Tucci's relatively new Hulu show "Searching for Italy" is a joy. I love watching his charming bespectacled face taste through the many regional treasures of bella Italia. What I love less is that his in-show interview with rock star winemaker Arianna Occhipinti has spurred a nationwide shortage of her wines. To be fair, the wines deserve the attention. Her Frappato is a benchmark for the style every freakin' year and disappears quickly. Think Sicily's answer to Pinot Noir with fresh strawberry, raspberry, cracked pepper, earthiness, and herbs. More exotic with sour tropical dragon fruit character. The white blend is driven by Muscat, and offers for a fresh and tropical, dry wine that is easy-drinking. The red blend adds Nero d'Avola to Frappato, and tastes like sunshine and freshness -- just right for a November afternoon in Houston. - WP
