Falanghina, Irpinia 2009

Lovely white from Compania by Terradora Dipaolo.  Mineral, peaches on a palate.  Great with and without food.

Damilano, Nebbiolo D'Alba 2008

Really nice budget priced nebbiolo; Bright cherry on a palate and a nose.  Very enjoyable.

Privilegia, Veronese 2004

In the heart of Valpolicella, south of the Lessini mountains, amidst the cherry orchards and olive groves, lies the seven hectare estate of Giuseppe Lonardi. Made from equal parts partially-dried Corvina and ripe Cabernet Franc and aged for two years in small French oak barrels, Privilegia matures another six months in bottle before release. Rustic, yet refined. Spiced plum and mushroom on the nose. Blackberries and figs on the palate. Truly wonderful wine by Guiseppe Lonardi.  Truly wonderful wine, get it if you can.

Ramitello, 2007

Prugnolo (85%) & Aglianico (15%) blend.  Very nice wine, plum and backberry and the palate, firm tannin structure.  The wine comes from Campomarino on the Adriatic cost.

Ferro di Cavallo 2009

Great Savignion from Piedmont.  This is the first Piedmontese Sav Blanc I tasted.  It does have more body than traditional French ones yet the stile is pretty much the same: dry with nice structure.  Peaches on the palate floral nose.  All in all, great wine
