After I posted the list of 2008 Tre Bicchieri honorees, Alfonso Cevola, "Italian Wine Guy," commented rather disparagingly on Gambero Rosso. GR is of course the mini publishing empire that selects the winners and relentlessly promotes the list and itself in Italy and abroad. Their 3 glasses generosity grows greater every year; it's conceivable that by 2032 every wine in Italy will receive a Tre Bicchieri rating. (Think Special Olympics.)
Well, now AC aka IWG has outdone himself in choleric, LSD-flashback free-associative eloquence. See his delirious denunciation of "Gambero Rotto" (rotto = broken, in place of rosso = red) on his site. Somehow he manages to tie all this into Zardoz (!!) of all the whacky movies. Worth seeing if only for Sean Connery's Borat-like "costume."
happy to report, IWG has responded well to the medication and will no longer be a problem. Open the pod doors, Hal....
