(Cont. From Page 1) Giacobetti, Marc Hauad, South Philadelphia Wine Cellars, Dominico Guglietta, Steve Vasso, Benigno-Gambone, and Vino Puro were also split among the 60 or so attendees. Master Winemaker John Patane was in the crowd, and also author Ralph Cipriani, whose book Garigista, which translates to “garage” and can be bought at Fante’s on 9th Street, chronicles his 16-year adventures in winemaking. After this successful tasting, I must say I prefer my beverages fermented. They are nutritious, psychotropic, and in all probability advanced Western Civilization due to their powerful effects on life and love.
