  Vinifico! The Original Vancouver Wine Blog — Authority: 113
  I’m a big fan of Southern Italy’s native Aglianico grape. One of the more enjoyable wines in recent memory for me was an Aglianico from Mastroberardino. This is a rustic grape, that when done up right, can make everything from a decent table wine to a truly memorable bottle of juice with dark fruit and [...]

• Thanksgiving Wine Selections: A Spiritual Prelude for Wine Lovers

  
  My Mlange — Authority: 462
  I am a self-confessed wino. I know a thing or two about wine and have mostly been sticking to budget French and Italian wines, with a penchant for reds. But I dabble. I am not one who is an expert for food and wine paring. Well, I might know a few basics, but generally I stick to a pretty basic formula – If I ...

• 2005 Renzo Seghesio “Ruri” Nebbiolo, Langhe

  
  Vinifico! The Original Vancouver Wine Blog — Authority: 113
  This wine falls squarely in the value category – especially if you want to try a decent Nebbiolo, but don’t want to lay out the $60 CDN or so that a Barolo or Barbaresco will set you back. It’s $28 at BC LDB stores – or at least at the one in downtown Vancouver at [...]
