Best Value Italian Wines

[whitewine4me]

Hi. I am new to this site but am starting up a cooking club. The first event will be with an Italian theme and I wanted to have some affordable (under $25) good Italian wines to recommend to the group. Can anyone helpme out on this? My dinner group meets next Saturday!!!

Thanks! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

Hi White, and welcome to the Wine Board. Two excellent values right now are Salice Salentino (red) and Vermentino (white). Both are widely available for under $10.

Also recommend Tommasi Pinot Grigio, if you can find it. Also about $10. Had one last night with chicken and pasta in a cream sauce, and will have another tonight. Dee-lightful.

Thanks for the help! I'll give the group these suggestions (and maybe sample a bit myself!! You know, quality control!)

thanks!
