Fiat Vino

This is from Central Otago in New Zealand, we picked it up for $18.99 at the Jug Shop on a recommendation from the staff. This is awesome, there is plenty of rich stone fruit flavor but it is not over the top. Very well balanced. Fantastic pinot, try some.

$8.99 on sale from (maybe) $12.99 from Safeway. It is light and crisp and totally worth $9. Try it sometime if you're in the mood for a dainty white.

Tasty option. Grab this if you see it for less than $6.

What a wonderful and balanced wine! We've been sitting on this for years and a lovely (foggy), lazy, Sunday afternoon felt like the time was just right. And it was. There are strong notes of stone fruit, a good amount of oak, black pepper, a solid amount of tannins - all working harmoniously to level out what could otherwise be a hot wine at 14.3% alcohol. We still have the 2006... But we'll save that for next year. A great buy.

We picked this up for $6 (or so) at Curtis Winery in Santa Ynez. Not sure the relationship between Rock Hollow and Curtis but we're glad these were part of some "everything must go" sale because they're a great buy. I'd even pay $15 for it.

Tasty, and I picked it up nearly half off at Safeway.

$12.99 on sale for $6.99. Great PG for the dough.
