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.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying the R & B Swingsville Red Zinfandel 2006. Talk about music to the pallet! Produced from some of the finest Zinfandel vineyards in California, this full-bodied, rich wine had cherry, blackberry and jam. Although a good steak or ribs would be my pairing of choice with this wine, the Swingsville provided the perfect amount of spice to go with any type of meal. However it’s versatile and just as good as a solo act. Pure harmony! So next time you are looking for a great value, full bodied, good with most meals, Red Zinfandel, plug into the R & B Swingsville. Until the next bottle, happy sipping!
