Bersano Again

[Innkeeper]

Isn't anyone else drinking Italian wine these days? We had included the 1997 Bersano, Costalunga, Barbera D'Asti in our Christmas package for siblings, and had some left over. Had it last night with meatballs (yes, those super bowl meatballs) and spaghetti, with salad. The good news is the meatballs are finally finished and the Bersano is still great. It also has to be among the best values in a barbera as well; Pop's has it for $12.15. Can't imagine anything to match better with the meatballs, spaghetti, and rich tomato sauce. The thing we like best about these lighter barberas is washing down the after dinner salad with them. Smooth as silk. When we do that with some other wines we could mention, you get fireworks of the mouth.
