Extra Virgin

I watch this show religiously and I have learned a tremendous amount about cooking from Debi and Gabriele. In general Gabriele's recipes and meal combinations are excellent.

I just finished watching the Supper at James Beard House episode. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why for such a sumptuous seafood meal, Gabriele allowed RED Chianti to be paired and served as apposed to a Chablis or a Pinot Noir.

Is there something or someone that explains what would make the Chianti acceptable?

Curious!

Debi does not know how to pronounce the word spaghetti, she calls it "spageet-ty". This irritates me.
