Montepulciano d'abbruzzo

Interesting this d'abruzzo, soft tannins, slightly bitter finish and medium bodied. We shamelessly paired this with bruschetta di tomate, prosciutto e melone, risotto di frutti mare, and affogato on the way.

I love the wine but it is pretty bitter on the finish so not for newbie wine drinkers.

Chateau Bernadotte haut-médoc

You know you've picked a great bottle when your waiter has a sensory orgasm when the cork comes off. This amazingly fragrant wine tastes even better. One of my darling friends, whose tastes in wine, scotch, and food (and fashion, love, life etc) are above par, tells me you can never go wrong with a mèdoc. I hadn't tried one before but if they all have this great smell and taste, I'll pick them more often. The taste is one of blackberries, cherries, easy on the palette with a smooth finish but has a strong flavor that wakes the senses.

Nicely done iTalico!!!

I don't normally go to the length of naming where I am but I'll make an excellent/well timed exception. iTalico restaurant in Palo Alto totally impressed me with their timeliness and expertise in wine recommendations. Everyone should try this place and let them know one of their "blogging Bella's" recommended them. Sooo... You know how I just said I don't do white wines??? Apparently now I do 😒 But I can be forgiven as this is a moscato. Sweet, bubbly, scintillating (unlike the old guy on a date with his young pretty girl but still trying to look up my tightly crossed long legs), handsome/sexy - ode to the waiters! Wait, are we still talking about the wines?? PS: nothing like an espresso to top the night.
