Today's Tastings -- September 8, 2007

La Slina Gavi 2006 -- light crisp white wine. Cortese grape with no oak (all stanless steel finished). This vineyard is located in the Piedmont of Italy.

D&N Chianti Classico -- wine is made by Andre Fossie under this label. D is his father's initial and N is his son's initial. Grandfather and son were born exactly to the day 100 years apart. Nice classic chianti wine Sangiovese with a little bit of Cannaiolo and Malvasia grapes.

Verbena Rosso di Montalcino -- 100 percent Sangiovese. Aged one year in oak. Creates a nice earthy with bright cherry fruits.

Moscato d'asti by Vietti -- wonderful bright dessert wine. Frizzanta! Lightly sparkling. This would be a perfect wine for a evening under the stars.

Thanks to Max Evans from Michael Downey Selections in Arlington.
