La tua mano, Andrey...
-- Ricordami, ricordami, ma dimentica il mio destino! Ricordami -- Goncharov!
-”Lament of Goncharov”, performer unknown, only found on the Matteo cut and the Italian cut, though at least one studio cut retains the “La tua mano, Andrey” vocal, slightly distorted and muffled -- listen closely when “In The Church At Midnight” begins during the eponymous scene.
This is a drink that closely resembles one seen in the brief flashback to Goncharov’s time as a discotheque owner, and what he prepares -- but does not drink -- during a later scene at home. It’s clear that Goncharov appears to have embraced the consumption habits of Naples, from the variety of reasonably high-quality pantry staples(Katya’s anchovies!) to one bottle he picks up very clearly being a 1970s-era Strega bottle, but he rarely consumes them, and stains the sunny Southern Italian hues of these liqueurs a dark red like dried blood with the Northern Italian frizzante Lambrusco, a reminder of his own stained past, a sense that he is not of anywhere anymore.
Sangue di San Gennaro | ABV: 14.25% | Yield: 7.40 fl oz | Spritz, Built in Glass, Aperitivo, Day Drinks, Wine Cocktails, Regional
1.25 fl oz or 37.5 ml Strega Liquore
1.25 fl oz or 37.5ml Limoncello
4 fl oz or 120ml Lambrusco red wine
Soda Water to Top
Briefly shake together the Strega and the Limoncello(especially if using homemade limoncello -- it integrates easier than stirring) then strain into bulbous red wine glass or balloon glass. Add pre-cracked ice carefully [you don’t want to risk damaging the glassware] and then the Lambrusco. Take a swizzle stick* and gently stir or swizzle the liqueurs and wine to integrate. Top with soda water, about 1-2 ounces. Garnish with a twist of orange.
*here appropriately the steel airplane stir sticks by Viski, ironic imagery of almost of the journey that led Goncharov to Naples, and his inability to escape the fate he seals for himself.

Nachklapp Wetter Wetter Wetter
Was ich am Mittwoch geschrieben habe, hat sich am Donnerstag bestätigt.
Wetter, Wetter, Wetter
Ich bin in der Früh bei trockenem Wetter von zu Hause in Horrem zur Arbeit losgefahren und es sah auch nicht nach Regen aus. Natürlich hatte ich meine Regenkleidung dabei, aber nicht angezogen. Nach zehn Kilometern und noch fünf Kilometer vor der Arbeit fing es an zu regnen. Gott sei Dank nicht so…

Although Italy contributes approximately 20% of the world’s wine, it remains a relative mystery to many people, due to unfamiliar grape varieties and wine region names. Wine journalist and educator Filippo Bartolotta led us exploring the rich history, modern innovation, and the renaissance of Italian classic wine styles shaping the current identity of this historical wine region.
