Sarah and I picked this off the list at Foccaccia, a little restaurant just off the Piazza Navona. Place was okay--we ended up here because a couple places we wanted to go didn't look that appealing and this was crowded. 15 Euro off the list--cheap, and from Lazio region...I think. Most of the other wine I've seen in Rome that I've seen in the US is essentially a wash on price--same price with exchange as the US. Anyways, lots of apple and stones--quite nice with food, but I think that perhaps their house white would have pleased us the same. C+ Eggplant involtini were lame; prosciutto with tomatoes and mozzarella and the spaghetti alla carbonara were awesome. Of course, I don't know that you can fuck up prosciutto and mozzarella?? In the US, of course. But in Italy? Oh, and earlier, we watched Roma play another Italian team and win (thankfully...) at a bar. The whole city shuts down, and people go crazy. Anyways great game. Also, last night we went to Cul de Sac for a drink and got a barrique aged Cesanese (from Lazio, of course) that rocked. Tar, wood, and gentle cherry berriness abounded. A bargain for 5 Euro a glass. I'm bummed my Italian is so shoddy--otherwise, I would have had them bring back the bottle for me so I could see the producer. A-
