• Vigna Dogarina Prosecco Brut

  
  CheapWineRatings.com — Authority: 114
  A couple weeks ago we reviewed the Vigna Dogarina Extra Dry , which I thought was outstanding, and tonight it’s another Prosecco from Vigna Dogarina, this time it’s the Brut. If you’re not a bubbly wine buff you might not guess this, but the Brut is slightly more dry than the Extra Dry.  So, I guess you can ...

  Blog from Italy — Authority: 120
  There is a scandal rustling the vines lining the charming vineyards of Tuscany -and what is a mere breeze at present may become a storm once more people discover that around 10 million litres of Tuscan wine have been adulterated. Wines which have been adulterated are the Chianti, Toscana IGT, Brunello di Montalcino, ...

• Wine of the week: Falesco Est! Est!! Est!!! 2008

  
  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 126
  Since it looks like Falescos Vitiano, one of the Wine Curmudgeons all-time favorite trio of wines, is going to drop out of the $10 Hall of Fame next year because the weak dollar has pushed its price to $12, I thought it only fair to mention another Falesco wine from Italy. About the only thing wrong with the Est! ...

• what you should know about Chianti wines and vines…

  
  Talk of Tomatoes — Authority: 111
  I love learning about Italian wine, glass by glass, region by region. I had a short writing stint (a few articles) with a travel company in Tuscany, and one of the articles I wrote about was Chianti. It was an excuse to ‘cozy up to the bar.’Since we arrived in Florence this past August, we [...]

• Banfi Rosa Regale Brachetto d’Acqui

  
  CheapWineRatings.com — Authority: 114
  We’re checking out another sparkling wine today, but this one is a sweet, dessert sparkler: Rosa Regale To be honest, I was a little reluctant to review this wine just based on price.  In my opinion, Banfi wines are overpriced.  For a while I was seeing this wine sell for $25+, but recently I’ve seen it for ...

• 2007 Tenuta del Portale Starsa Aglianico, Basilicata IGT

  
  Vinifico! The Original Vancouver Wine Blog — Authority: 111
  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 [...]

  CheapWineRatings.com — Authority: 114
  Tonight we’re tasting another Prosecco, and it happens to be another outstanding value for sparkling wine. Like most Prosecco, Vigna Dogarina comes from the Veneto region in Italy.  But that’s just the broader region.  This particular Prosecco comes from Valdobbiadene, one of the most prestigious places for ...

• Expensive wine of the month 8: Gaja Barbaresco 2005

  
  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 126
  One of the anchors of an ever changing wine world is a certain kind of Italian wine, which keeps whats best about Italian style and tradition and combines it with modern winemaking techniques. The Gaja (about $175, sample ) is such a wine. But why not? They have been making wine since 1859. The Gaja is a red wine ...

• Riondo Prosecco Spago Nero

  
  CheapWineRatings.com — Authority: 114
  When it comes to finding bubbly wine at bargain prices, Prosecco can’t be beat.  Actually, Prosecco is a grape variety from the Veneto region of Italy and there is some of it produced as still wine, but the vast majority of it is bubbly.  Here’s one that is simply awesome and it’s about $10 to boot. Why ...

• Thanksgiving Wine Selections: A Spiritual Prelude for Wine Lovers

  
  My Mlange — Authority: 418
  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: 111
  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 [...]

• Wine of the week: Tormaresca Neprica 2008

  
  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 126
  No wine better illustrates what American wine drinkers want than the Neprica. And no wine better illustrates how little the wine business understands about what American wine drinkers want. In the two years Ive written this blog, the two Neprica reviews are not only the most popular reviews, but theyre the second ...
