Wine in Venice

Nor did I. Furthermore I never hinted that anyone did.

Gratuitiously dumb? You have such a way with words. Major city or not, there are other cities with the same name. If you like to think of them as some "local burgs" then fine, but you are only displaying your own ignorance by doing so.

Oh, I am abrasive when I am attacked. However, I wish for you to explain to me why rudeness to me was called for based on my first response, which was not rude or abrasive in the slightest. I did not start the "bad tempered rudeness" and I challenge you to back up that claim.

Just to put things into perspective the population of Venice, Florida is estimated at 29,144 and the population of Venice, California is estimated at

37,700. Population of Venice, Italy estimated at 310,000. Did anybody really have any question about what Venice was being refered to? Bi!!

I was told on this thread that population doesn't matter and I agree. What the heck does the size of the city have to do with anything? There are large cities that are rarely heard of and small ones that are. In the case of Venice, CA it is much more well-known than its size would suggest because it is located near Los Angeles. Venice, FL is a popular vacation destination. Why guess when you can ask?

Dimitri

Come on now...size doesn't matter...listen to your spouse.

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!

However, there are more Venices than the two well-known ones in Florida and California:

Venice, Arkansas Venice, Illinois Venice, Louisiana Venice, Missouri Venice, Nebraska Venice, Ohio Venice, Pennsylvania Venice, Utah Venice, Washington

We even have a Venezia, Arizona.

No. 10,000 doesn't cut it.

Dimitri

More than that, Venice is where Jim Morrison ran into Ray Manzarek and the two formed The Doors there.

Dimitri

Wow!

Yes, a bottle of Neuburger, meaning "from the new castle" in German, and being a white grape variety grown in Austria.

Which means we arrived on-topic again!
