Ideal for red-sauced pasta dishes over the next year. B-. Imported by Margaux and Associates, I got this for about $18 at Spec's.
An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!
