re: #1194 godfrey

I think of grappa as the stuff that drips out of the exhaust pipe of the winemaking engine. Interesting stuff if you can stand it. It’s the perfect conservative drink: you take a sip and then get to muse on vanishing glories of the past. Mostly I drink gin.

My immediate thought when having a shot of grappa many years ago was….Italian moonshine made from grapevines, don’t spill on any painted surfaces.
