Buon Giorno! “La lista dei vini per favore.”
And what a wine list we have for you. We recently partnered with Kennett Distributors
to bring you some delicious Italian wines that I know you will love! We have
an incredible Vernaccia di San Gimignano from the vineyard of Cantine Bonacchi.
Known as the “Wine of Kings”, this classic Tuscan white wine is made of hand selected 100% Vernaccia and aged up to 6 months with a
short time in French oak barrels. The delicious flavors merge with accents of minerals and florals to produce
a rich taste with a slight bitterish aftertaste for this classic Tuscan. Also from Bonacchi is the Chianti Gentilesco. This classic blend is made of
premium hand-select 85% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo, and softenedwith 5% Malvasia
del Chianti Nera and aged up to 9 months un-wooded. This ruby red wine is very
well balanced, tangy, fresh, and smooth, with explosive fruit and a wonderfully
long, clean and persistent finish. And be prepared for an unbelievable treat
with the introduction of our very own “Private Label” wines from the Cantine Riondo
De Valier Vineyards in Veneto, Italy. This is going to be awesome, and I can’t wait to share them
with you.
Let’s talk about wines for just a minute. Don’t be afraid of them! Wines are
the perfect accompaniment to any occasion, whether it’s a wonderful dinner with
perfectly matched selections, or just opening a bottle to enjoy on the deck as
the sun sets. A good wine sets the stage for a truly memorable event. They don’t
have to “break the bank” either. More and more we are seeing consumers looking
for value when it comes to wine, and there are a lot of really nice selections
at very reasonable prices. Yes, it’s true: certain wines work very well with
certain foods. But drink what you like! There are no “Wine Police” out there,
giving out “tickets” for drinking the wrong things. Read the labels and, if you
find one you truly enjoy, look up their website and learn what you can about that
wine. It really enhances the experience. I cordially invite you to join us for a glass of our featured wine and learn
to savor every moment. Salute’!
