I was once asked, if I were on a spaceship to Mars, what wine would I take? Without any hesitation, I answered Chianti. The asker was astounded that I did not mention any of the world's great wines or vintages but settled for a rather commonplace wine. I was then asked, “Why Chianti?” My answer reflected my opinion of what I consider to be the “happiest” wine in the world – a wine that is not to be gently sipped but to be enjoyed with friends in great gulps.
