Welcome aboard!
Welcome to WMT!
I had to do some research because I did not know that Eritrea still existed. I thought it was lost by Italy after WWII and was a part of Ethiopia. Learned something new today. Not too old to learn (but I may be getting close). I would imagine that you have an interesting story in your family history with a name like Marino. If you would care to share it, I think many would find it educational.
Welcome to WMT and good luck with the prickly pear!

WMT!! and don't let the needles get you!
Welcome to WMT!
Kudos for knowing that much and still be willing to learn more! Asmarino actually means a resident or native of Asmara, the capital city, but colour me impressed nonetheless.
Ahh, I see you're no stranger to the prickly pear. Condolences, friend.
Our forum members are primarily North American, but we have members from all around the world.
I recognized the name Eritrea, but could not place it, so I had to look it up. You'll find that a lot of us are sort-of scholars who will research stuff, not all wine related. It keeps the grey cells active!
I live in Texas, and it is not the big needles that hurt as much as the tiny ones. Nopales to us S Texans. Used in cooking lots of dishes.
That will teach me to make a hasty assumption! I had assumed that your name was A. S. Marino, and did not recognize the suffix -ino, which in Italian names, along with -ese, is roughly the equivalent of -ite in English.
