Re: Looking for a good wine

Extra Dry or Brut wines are not what you want if you are looking for a sweet wine. Looks like you will be able to find a good one. Have fun!

Re: Question about cuisine and regions

NORTH END ITALIAN COOKBOOK, written by Marguerite DiMino Buonpane You can find it at Amazon, it is full of Sicilian and Calabrese styles of cooking, they are very similiar.

Try Saracco Moscato di Asti, it is reasonably priced.

Re: Di Fronzo/Ragno of Montemiletto

I believe we are looking for 2 different families. The parent's of the Giuseppe I know of are not the same.

the name D'Amelio

Is anyone familiar with this surname, the family is either from Ariano or Montemiletto. In particular I am looking for the parent's of Fiore D'Amelio. Fiore died in 1908 @ the age of one year and 2 months in Boston.

His father is Francesco and his mother is Filomena D'Amato.

She said that was the husbands job, that is one reason she and her family are not on the 1930 Census, simply because Mama wouldn't answer the door. It is one of many explanat...

Re: Looking for a good wine

I like a good Riesling or Gewurztraminer. They aren't usually very $$$ and they are on the sweeter side. I don't like bitter white wine and these 2 are very good. Spumantes are too sweet.
Maybe you will like these.

Re: Question about cuisine and regions

I remember many dishes that were made. This time of year it was always a good time with all the special breads, cookies and of course the ricotta pie, that we ate with rice in it, some people use grano, a skinless wheat berry of sorts, ans some use raisins and nuts. I love the rice pie the best. We ...

Re: Question about cuisine and regions

I have a great recipe for Italian Cookies that are fantastic.
They are from my favorite cookbook NORTH END ITALIAN COOKBOOK, written by Marguerite DiMino Buonpane. I don't know if I can post her recipe for them here or not.
