Tenuta Sant’ Antonio Valpolicella 2007
Remarkably full-bodied for a Valpolicella. The thick, lush red fruit is startling. But the crescendo quickly softens and that rustic, somewhat herbal Italian finish comes shining through. This wine would be a great companion with red pasta sauces, well-seasoned pork, pate’ or Asiago cheese.

As the last of the hot summer nights came to a close, I tried my nose on the Naia 2007 Verdejo. As the bottle opened it was one of the most fragrant wines I’ve had in quite a while. Once I had the first pour the herbaceous nose of this wine came out and was very strong, yet not overpowering, with floral notes that complimented it. I couldn’t wait to taste all this fragrance!
This Verdejo was of a very high quality and one of the best white varieties from Spain. It was a very aromatic and soft wine with body, and with each glass this wine kept surprising me. The first taste was very refreshing and crisp with bright fruit flavors such as grapefruit, lime and kiwi. It was the perfect wine for the sushi we had just made too. Although we drank it right out of the refrigerator, I recommend letting it sit a while for a more appealing taste. If I ever want to be reminded of the last days of summer I’ll reach for the Naia 2007 and pour myself some liquid fragrance.
