Antico Colle Chianti 2010, Sangiovese Wine
Origin: Italy - Tuscany
|
Characteristics: Yes, yes, YES! Chianti like this stands out as true to the Senesi hills and reminds me of why I so much enjoy Chianti in the first place. What with all the red cherry fruit, black tea aromas, and that scent of dried autumn leaves, this wine's rich personality practically screams of Sienna. The palate is bright and nervy in a way that piques my appetite and makes me look to the icebox for charcuterie. All the charms of the nose echo on the palate and crescendo into a floral top note that along with the red cherries carry on long into a refreshing and appetizing finish -bring on the meal!

Alexis Bailly Vineyards Frontenac 2011
Characteristics: What a wonderful and intriguing nose. It has some of the uplifted spices in mulling spices especially cinnamon and spearmint layered atop the Frontenac red fruit. WOW totally yummy and I’m sure it’s the first Frontenac I’ve ever described as such. A flood of red fruit flavor but in pirouette of balance and finesse rarely found in this varietal. A big bravo to Nan Bailly.

Altano Douro Red Portuguese Table Wine 2010
Characteristics: Perhaps it should not come as a surprise seeing as this dry red comes to us from the Symington family –whose name is synonymous with Ports but it comes as a happy surprise that this wine resembles every bright charm of Port without any of the sweet dried fruit reserved to that fortified category. This is heady and fragrant sure but with freshly crushed boysenberries and sliced plums. With a palate the texture of velvet and seasoned with baking spices, this is just short of brooding. Instead we find a gentle giant whose charms are the contrast betwixt strength and restraint, and ones angst over what they might expect from this brawny sort vanishes before the beaming smile they encounter instead. This sustainable red is made from the Portuguese varieties Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca.

Riedel 'O' Sauvignon blanc/Zinfandel/Sangiovese 2 packs
Description: Riedel "O" is the new take on the wine tumbler. The tumbler, used for centuries as an all-round drinking vessel, is now turned into a sophisticated wine accessory. In short: "O" is the ideal glass for every day use and for every occasion. Without stems to knock into or over, the "O" is pet-proof and kid-friendly, meaning fewer glasses to replace down the line.
The designs of "O" are based on the benchmark shapes of Riedel Vinum. For the first time in glass history the design parameters such as shape of tumbler, size and diameter of rim, have been finely-tuned to enhance the world's most important grape varietals. The price range for the non lead machine-blown glass series is half the price of Riedel Vinum glasses.
It fits in every dishwasher, picnic basket, minibar or small kitchen. Broken stems are a thing of the past.
