Renieri Rosso di Montalcino 2002

It is a great place. One of our manager's brother is the head of the NJ/PA division of Winebow(think "Leonardo LoCascio Selections"), from whom we buy most of our wines, so we have a very close relation with our distributor. Last month I was lucky enough to go to winebow headquaters twice for tastings. The first time we tasted through 12 traditional DOC/DOCG wines; Pinot Grigio, Verdicchio, Valpolicella, Barbera D'asti, Chianti Classico, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Barberesco, ect.. The second time was mostly more expiremental IGT wines.

Both times were a real treat. They were a lesson in Italian wine law, history, practices, grape historys, food matchings, ect.
