Friday night in El Cajon we’ll complete our two part Italian tasting with a sample of Tuscany. When most people think of powerful wines from Italy, they think of Super-Tuscans or Brunellos. We’ll taste some, as well as some fantastic Chiantis.
We hope you’ll join us for this amazing tasting!

This weeks selections: $15.00
La Spinetta Vermentino 2009 ($16.99 During Tasting)
- Wonderful aromas of peach, papaya, citrus and rosemary, flavours of apricot and peach with a refreshing minerality and long, crisp finish. Delicious and invigorating. A great wine with sashimi and raw oysters. 89 Points – Wine Spectator.
Fontodi Chianti Reserva 2001 ($59.99 During Tasting)
- Very fresh on the nose with lots of dried flowers, berries and crushed fruit. Medium- to full-bodied, with good tannins and a bright, fruity finish. Solid, beautiful yet refined … as always. 91 Points – Wine Spectator
Fontodi Chianti 2006 ($32.99 During Tasting)
- Beautiful aromas of rich plum and black cherry follow through to a full body, with velvety tannins and a long, rich finish. 90 Points – Wine Spectator
Cupio Brunello 2004 ($32.99 During Tasting)
- Intense perfume of cherries, raspberry, smooth tannins, nicely structured, powerful, ripe and balanced.
Poggio Bonelli 2005 ($47.99 During Tasting)
- The intense and persistent bouquet of red jams and spices (pepper, cinnamon) gives way to hints of tobacco and cocoa and closes with a burnt earth and leather sensation. Powerful tannins on the palate. 85% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot
Fabius 2004 ($24.99 During Tasting)
- Big, juicy and caressing, with loads of ripe fruit, plum and blackberry character. Full, long and delicious. 100% Syrah. 91 Points – Wine Spectator
