We are just back from Italy, jet-lagged and jet-weary; flying is trying. By all accounts last weekend was a big crazy crowd. Not sure exactly what wines were poured in our absence, but rumors are that a good time was had by a large and boisterous crowd, about what we expected with Judy pouring…! Pictures!<\/a><\/p>\n

This weekend is Artists’ Studio tour, and we are showing an array of really interesting photos by Kim Gardner; try to get here early, as many are already sold from last weekend’s preview.<\/p>\n

In honor of our recent return from Italy, this week’s wines are Italian:<\/p>\n

Avanti Pinot Grigio 08 Italy $9<\/strong>
\nInviting aromas of pineapple, fresh lime, and crisp mineral notes that linger softly in the mouth.<\/em><\/p>\n

Martorana Nero d\u2019Avola 08 (Sicily) $12<\/strong>
\nEasy drinking red wine with crowd-pleasing notes of ripe plums, blueberry, almond, and sweet rhubarb
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Bibbiani Treggiaia 07 (Italy) $10<\/strong>
\nA great value blend of sangio & cab, the ultimate pizza wine, serious but friendly!<\/em><\/p>\n

Perazzeta Rita \u201806 Sangiovese Italy $26<\/strong>
\nFrom the southern fringe of Montalcino (Montalcino?\u00a0 Doh,, we coulda gone there!) comes this stunningly powerful, lush Sangiovese; aged in French oak barrels, and pushing the boundaries of the varietal; named after winemaker\u2019s wife AND mother, he said of his wine: \u201cI had no choice but to name it Rita!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
