    Quoting Dave Drum to Jim Weller <=-

    Tavola Table Wine has been defunct for
    decades. The last time you posted that recipe I Googled it and found
    next to nothing, just one image of a faded label on an old bottle.
    This time Google can't find anything at all.

    your Google is laying down on the job. Bing found this:

    "Vino da Tavola / means literally "table wine"

    Which is what the American Travola wine brand derived its name from.

    Francis Ford Coppola a Tavola Cabernet Sauvignon

    A completely different, high quality wine running $25 to $50 a bottle
    depending on the vintage.

    The wine you referred to disappeared several decades ago. It's so
    obscure that there is no trace of it on the net at all any more.




    Cheers

    Jim

    There's your problem - you've an extra letter in the name of the wine.

    They (Coppola) have also taken over/resurrected the "Virginia Dare"
    label of the Virginia Dare Extract Company which had disappeared some
    years ago after being the first commercial wine sold after the repeal
    of the Volstead Act in 1933.
