A pleasant surprise
In the NYT Food Section this morning they are singing praise for an Italian wine, Bisci Verdicchio di Matelica 2018.
I was immediately struck by the name "Bisci". Back in the nineties I was doing business with a manufacturing company by the name of Bisci. During a rather long meeting at their plant we had lunch brought in to save time. It was accompanied by wine, very good wine and labeled as Bisci. It is not all that uncommon in Italy for companies to have their own vineyards and wineries. I complemented Mr Bisci on his fine wine and added that just down the hill from their office was a winery that I knew well from buying their wines back home. Mr Bisci, with obvious disdain of his neighbors, said "ah yes,that is an industrial wine" 
I have never seen Bisci wine sold commercially, but apparently times are changing since his sons have taken over. I wonder, does that make Bisci "industrial"?
