No biscuits, I can't make them. I can only make things involving large quantities of garlic or chili or both. Today it was Petza Imbinada, Sardinian for "soused meat".

What sort of music do you play? We're basically a group of old codgers (myself being the oldest codger at nearly 49) who spend a couple of evenings a week together playing a bit of blues, a bit of soul and a bit of rock, anything from Van Morrison to Stevie Wonder.

This is astonishing...I love chili, garlic and VanMorrison too! Further genetic evidence! (We have to relate these conversations back to genealogy otherwise Arranroots will get us for being off-subject) Have played in various bands but got tired of all the travelling and carrying heavy speakers about,  just bluesey piano in a few pubs these days...
Any suggestions for a good Sardinian wine? Ancestor hunting certainly works up a thirst....

I didn't realise we had to stay on-subject. Well, I'll try. So for people with genes such as ours, the best Sardinian wine is Cannonau, anything over 13%. This is a strong red-black wine, more ore less the wine equivalent of Guinness. As regards actual bottles I'd recommend Nepente from Oliena or Orturù from Mamoiada, also Mamuthone from Mamoiada but that's quite expensive. Don't know if any of these reach England.

Hello both

Technically, yes - please try to stay on topic.

Privately I am getting an education about Sardinia and am intrigued by the idea that you share musical genes!

You can either chat privately by Personal Message, use the chatroom (RootsChat Chatterbox - see the Chat link at the top of each page) or start a topic on the Totally off Topic board.

Enjoy!

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

p.s. I assume you have come across Scribes Alcove for your Thornbury records?
