Today’s Tasting!<\/strong><\/p>\n

With all the news, I don’t want to forget to let you know what we are tasting today!\u00a0 We have a Red Blend \u00a0and Pinot Grigio.\u00a0 Both from Italy!<\/p>\n

Vitiano Italian Red Blend ($12.99) – 91 pts. International Wine Cellar! \u00a0Ridiculously dark black-ruby color. Pretty aromas of cassis, black plum and earth, with a pronounced vanilla presence that does not overpower the fruit. Rich and densely packed, with distinctly ripe flavors of black fruits, raisin and chocolate lifted by an intriguing balsamic vinegar note. This finishes lighter than it starts, with welcome acidity nicely delineating the borderline-overripe fruit. Finishes creamy and long. This is a lot of wine for the money, and the best Vitiano in years, far removed from some astringent versions of recent memory.<\/p>\n

Tiziano Pinot Grigio ($14.99) – The nose carries a blend of pear and citrus, the mouth is filled with ripe pear aromas, balanced by acidity. The fruit forward style makes this pinot grigio the perfect match for tomato dishes.<\/p>\n

Stop in for a taste!<\/p>\n
