He does more than just Italian!

What a great video! As Dean Martin (Dino Crocetti) used to say (sing): "That's Amore!"

Un' abbraccio da Chicago e Buon' Natale!

That is F'd up!

And they say that we critics who are formalists are in trouble because of the "new media"? This guy's adorable but he just pushed 5,287 potential lovers back to the WS and RP>

There's a certain joyfulness to how he consumes wine that's attractive...
That's it, I'm going to stop using glasses from now on.

It's like that anecdote about the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes who lived in a barrel (the one who used to go around in the daytime with a lantern saying,"I'm looking for an honest man.")
One day he was by the river and he sees this little girl drinking water from the river with her hands. So he threw away his cup and from that day on only used his hands.
The beauty of simplicity.

Another good story about Diogenes is when he was payed a visit by Alexander the Great. Alexander said, "I grant you any wish." Diogenes replied, "Please move, your blocking my sun."

Diogenese was F'd up too!

That's hilarious! Actually, the wine he is drinking, Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva, is not a bad wine for the price. I picked up some at Aldi for about $8 per bottle. Quite serviceable as a quaffer.
