Chianti DOCG (Sangiovese)


Italy Red Wine - 2007/8
Deep ruby in color with nice legs, this Chianti has a sweet, floral nose of violets that is quit enticing. Medium bodied and dry, it delivers tart fruit and wild cherry flavors with hints of violets.















Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie IGT
Italy White Wine - 2008


Citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon predominated on the nose with a tropical fruit base developing as the wine opened. Stone fruit flavors with a rosy, mellow pear and grapefruit gave this offering a nice taste profile.
