Southern Italian Reds

This month we tried to drink Ciro from Southern Italy but seeing as how only one could be found in all of Winston Salem - SHOCKER - we ended up with Southern Italian wines. These were dry reds that most of us enjoyed a lot!

Alex and Michelle went home with the bull this week for bringing the winning wine.

In order of drinking, not ranking:

1. Tenuta del Portale, Starsa, Basilicata, 2005, $12
2. Librandi, Ciro, Rosso Classico, 2006, $13 (tied for 2nd favorite wine)
