Wine Selections
April 2012 

   "Macrina" Verdicchio 2009
              Garofoli

               Marche, Italy
         

imageAn exceptionally   fine Verdicchio, bright & crisp, yet rich. Greater depth & complexity than most Verdicchios. The Garofoli family is
now in its 3rd generation of  producing outstanding wines. 
Perfect for seafood!


Barbera d'Alba
2010
Franco Serra

                  Piedmont, Italy
  Big, earthy dark berry aromas and flavors with hints of strawberry and mocha.  A gem
from northwestern Italy.
image
 A fine Barbera, especially for the price. A very food friendly wine. Great match for dishes made with tomato sauce (pasta and pizza).  Excellent with sausages, beef, lamb, venison and cheeses. Stuffed mushrooms.
