Wine
Here's what sourcing from vines 75 to 112 years old can get you: alluring floral and fruit aromas, lush stone-fruit flavors and a rich but lively mouthfeel and finish. The 2011 Shaya Rueda Verdejo ($15) deftly toes the line between plush and refreshing, hearty and crisp. This Spanish white sings with simple seafood preparations, but also would play well with many of the dishes at a certain feast looming this Thursday. Available at 1st Grand, Sorella, Elevated, Costco (Burnsville, Maple Grove, St. Louis Park), Hy-Vee (Rochester), Surdyk's and others.

But in the current era of the quick buck, curators worry the marble statue's religious and political significance is being diminished by the thousands of refrigerator magnets and other souvenirs sold around Florence focusing on David's genitalia.
