Wine Pairing. “What Do You Want To Drink?"
In an article that caused a heated debate last year, wine writer John Lenart found that restaurant critics in Chicago often avoided discussing one of the most integral parts of dining out, i.e., wine.

Alle teste mozzate ostentate in segno di odio, bisognerebbe contrapporre un’icona potente di fratellanza tale da superare l’oscena e diffusa convinzione di impurità del diverso per scelta credente. Al Tempio maggiore di Roma Ebrei e Cristiani hanno fatto ancora un passo verso l’accettazione piena gli uni degli altri, un passo importante per un percorso ancora lungo per dire che “ogni uomo è e resta mio fratello”.
