E. Guigal Cotes Du Rhone 2007 Rouge

Categories:

E. Guigal Cotes Du Rhone is so smooth and has so much going on!  After doing some research, I learned that the Rhone Valley wines in southern France tend to be more full-bodied with a spicy taste which this wine definitely has. It is the Holiday season, so enjoy a delicious glass of Cotes Du Rhone rouge by the fire.


Cecchi Bonizio Sangiovese di Maremma 2009

Categories:

This seems to me to be a really versatile wine and can be paired with a variety of meals or another stand alone wine.  The Sangiovese grape is home to Italy and when we visited Florence we had a chance to enjoy this type of wine as it was readily available. As for the taste, it is not too complex and does seem a little dry and earthy.  Great price! 


Mario Ercolino Sicilia 2009 Saserello

Categories:

Its Italian!!!!! This wine is a combination of four different types of grapes (merlot, cabernet, syrah, and sangiovese-a red, Italian grape variety). To say this wine is complex is an understatement. It is very smooth and the mixed flavors of berry and a subtle hint of sweet cherry certainly bring it a unique taste. This bottle was only $11.99. An excellent deal for this special wine.
