D’ Aquino Red 2004 Chianti Wine
In an Italian restaurant you could easily pay $25-$35 for this bottle of D’ Aquino Chianti wine and you wouldn’t be disappointed. It has a good flavor, a nice smell and really does go great with a hearty Italian dinner. It has a radiant red color, soft & dry mouth feel and a nice taste of cranberry in the finish. We’ve actually found this wine for about $5 from our local Trader Joes grocery store. For the price and the good tasting Chianti you just can’t go wrong. Chill it for 5 mins before you drink it if you wish. Salute!

Lomazzi & Sarli Latias 2003 Red Wine Primitivo
I went into a wine shop not long ago that specialized in Italian reds. The manager, whom which was very helpful, took me around his shop giving me inside on several Italian wines. One of the things he said was, “always decant for about 30-60 minutes.” “This will unlock the flavor of the wine and just give you a better tasting experience.” I asked, even for the cheaper wines? “Why not” he said.
I took his advice on even this less expensive Italian wine ($10 range) and we did enjoy it. Wouldn’t say it was the best Italian red wine we’ve ever had but it didn’t go towards my wine chips for grilling nor was there anything left in the bottle!
The Latias Primitivo 2003 from Lomazzi & Sarli is a dark red wine with a bold fruity flavor. Really a good buy!

D’ Aquino Italian 2002 Red Chianti
A good CHEAP bottle of Chianti. I think we picked it up at Trader Joe’s for $5 or something. The second and third glasses are better!

Vinuva Pinot Grigio Italy 2001
Beautiful looking bottle, crap wine. Bought it from Costco because it looked like a nice decoration. Figured we should just drink it. Not a good idea. No flavor, never again.
