She says: This wine is not for the faint hearted.
He says: …the wine smelled and tasted like a Chilliwack Farmer’s Fair – dung, barnyard, & earth.

He says: I’d hold off on this unless you are ordering the steak special at the Olive Garden. She says: With royalty depicted on the label, I expected more tradition from this Chianti Classico! 
He says: A well-structured wine with strong acidity and finely-balanced tannins make this a great match for tomato-based Italian dishes or a take-out pizza. She says: Whilst it was the better of the two in this tasting, it appears to be developing at a slower rate than the 2005 which was drinking beautifully this time last year. 
On the evening of Canada Day, we decided to have our two good friends, the CakeBitch & El Capitan, over for some homemade pizza and an impromptu wine tasting. This was the first time they’ve ever “tasted blind” by having two glasses of the same variety side-by-side to compare and contrast. 
He says: The usage of a glass stopper as the enclosure is pretty nifty, and makes sense since I’d probably have to drink it over a week. I rarely am so underwhelmed. She says: The better of the two Nero d’Avola’s we tried but that is not saying much. 
He says: This wine is so disappointing for $20, especially considering all the other great values out of Italy at the same price. Stick with a Valpolicella, or an Aglianico, or a six-pack of Peroni. She says: After hearing great things recently about Sicilian wine this was nothing short of a big disappointment! 
She says: I love Italy… not only because everyone is well dressed but because there are so many different varieties to explore. He says: I didn’t want to write this review because this wine is an absolute bargain, I’m a wine hoarder, and stock is running low! BC LDB has marked it down from $30 to $21, and I highly recommend locating a few bottles and trying it out. |
