Greetings,
I will be traveling in Italy for the next week, so there will be no new content, but have no fear, The Wine of the Week UNDER $15 will return October 7th.
I will also (hopefully) have lots of great pictures from my trip through Veneto and the northern reaches of Italian wine country.
See you soon!
Anyone who discusses wine with me regularly could tell you that Syrah is my favorite grape varietal. This week’s wine is a blend of Syrah and Bonarda from Argentina, making a seductive, dark, easily quaffable example of Susana Balbo’s renound wine-making skill.
The Crios wines have gotten some really outstanding press recently, including 89 Points for the Syrah-Bonarda from Robert Parker, but you don’t care about scores right? This wine is yummy, and you can quote me on that!

This week’s wine is an exciting one for me. I love a good sparkling wine, and I have been in a bit of a rut with it lately. It’s official, Santome Prosecco is now my new favorite everyday sparkling wine.
It is an Extra-Dry Prosecco (check out my new FAQ section for details on dryness levels for sparkling wines), so it is just a bit sweeter than a Brut, and incredibly refreshing. I am almost embarrassed to admit that the bottle was gone before I knew what happened. Try it for yourself and see if you agree with me, this is one outstanding Prosecco!
