I am looking for a reputable shop in Venice from which to purchase a case
of wine to provide for some clients. Can anyone here steer me in the right
direction?

Thanks in advance

Mmm, granted I am not objective, Venezia being my city, but it seems
to me that if someone does not specify, Venice is in Italy, just as
Berlin is in Germany and London in England... ;-)))

The only place to buy wine in Venice, if you ask me, is Vino e...
Vini, at Castello 3299, you can call them at 0415210184, they are not
far from San MArco, on the Fondamenta dei Furlani, near the Scuola di
San Giorgio degli Schiavoni (worth seeing BTW). In the evening they
organize tastings. The guy that runs it is very good.

No, you aren't objective. I typed "Venice" into Google. Of the first
10 hits, 6 referenced the city in Italy, 2 referenced the city in
Florida, and 2 referenced the city in California.


Typing in "Venice wine" gave me 8 in Italy and 2 in Florida. Both Venice,
FL and Venice, CA are destinations unlike, say, Paris, TX. Being in Italy
perhaps you do not realize that.

And what happened to Illinois? Seems like Google missed a few...

Hi Dimitri

<JUST KIDDING>
I know it is not nice to call little places "little" or fat people
"fat", I apologize for the typically european arrogance of my reply,
apologies to the the mayors of Venice FL and CA, and Illinois too, I
did not intend to start some kind of spanish inquisition, any
belittling of the importance of their respective puny villages (sorry,
cities) in history and world affairs was absolutely unintentional. My
assuming that Venice meant Venice Italy is inexcusable, in the future
I shall look up Google and check if there can be any confusion between
the first place that comes to my small enfeebled mind and some
godforsaken ******** (sorry, there I go again, I meant remote quaint
community) located in, gosh, another continent for Pete's sake!

But, if I may abuse of your patience for a few seconds more, please
let me ask you a question or two.

When you read something about the Roman Empire, do you need to be told
Rome-Italy just in case there was any doubt that it might have been
Rome, NY that invaded Gaul, or that Rome, GA had developed a brave
squad of Rubicon-crossers?

When you read about the Queen in London, do you need to know that it
is London, England or might you doubt that Buckingham palace could
have moved to Ontario or Kentucky or Ohio?

When you read about Paris being a fashion center, do you need to have
it specified as Paris France, or is any one of the 6 US cities so
named seeing a large influx of strange clothes and anoretic women?

And just what is wrong with Paris TX, why is it not a destination but
Venice FL is?
</JUST KIDDING>

I guess Google hits are what defines objectivity today...

;-)))))

Not at all that simple. Google operates its search engines
with regard for the country of origin of the query, hence there
are multiple Googles: www.google.it, www.google.fr, etcetera.
If you request information on "Venice" from Google Italy
you will get different results from the same request in Google
France, and so forth. As you are in the US you connect to
Google USA. Being in the US perhaps you do not realize that.

That proves Mike's point, it seems to me. And even for an American,
comparing Venice FL with the city of the Doges and scene of Monteverdi's
greatest hour is going a touch far.

He isn't, his origins are there, but he's lived in Canada, and currently
lives in Southern France. A better qualification for a balanced world view
than many, it seems to me.

Hey, LOL, do you also have Athens, Babylon and Kathmandu?
Nice place, the US, but I bet my cellar you don't have Rivalta.
Yeah!

Thank you Mike. I was hoping to avoid the major international incident
that I seemingly have caused, but things happen.

Hope Mike's merchant is helpful.

While it does behoove us all to remember this is an international group, I
don't think anyone seriously was confused about which Venice was being referred
to. Or maybe they were, in which case maybe producers should start putting on
"The Merchant of Venice (the one in Italy"), and whoever has the rights to
Thomas Mann's estate should have the book covers read "Death in Venice, Italy"

BTW, is Venice CA really a destination? Even a friend whose son lived in Venice
CA would say she was going to LA to visit him.

In any case, I'd just like to state for the record that if I forget to add NY,
when I say Manhattan that's the one I'm referring to, not the one in Kansas.

I also buy at this enoteca. The selection is excellent, but I think
the prices in Bologna, which is the other place I frequently visit,
are much better.

Yes, everything is more expensive in Venice-ITALIA...

BTW, to which Bologna are you referring to, the city in Emilia Romagna
that is home to the world's oldest university and the world's best
tortellini, or Bologna, the capital of the Sandwich (Islands)?

And watch it, Bologna is not very far off from spam....

Thanks for giving an answer to the original question. While I did not ask
the original question it was of interest to me because I will be there next
week.
