Great wine, too - I've been getting it since they started making it. It's just about the *perfect* wine with anything grilled! Made from the same grapes that they use for Chianti, so you get a little of the Chianti 'bite' at the back of the throat, but it's extremely smooth and non-acidic. One of my favorites. It used to be around $9/bottle, but it has gone up a bit recently!
thanks man, for the compliment (you too, Balut!).

Sangiovese is my favorite grape.

I really like that wine as it has just a 'hint' of bubbly. Served it with VodkaTomato cream sauce over gnocci with fresh Basil and Parma cheese.

I really liked the soft lighting (from all the rain clouds), and the placement of the bottle/glass on a rustic surface was quite appealing.
