Terredora Aglianico 2010, Igt Campania
Campania, Italy$16.95
Classic Italian wine that comes from a region south of Naples, Italy. Very impressive wine for the price. Will get better after some decanting. Tasted December 2013.

Chåteau Moncontour Demi-sec Vouvray 2011, Ac
Loire, France$17.95
I agree with the critic reviews that this wine is quite earthy and honeyed / creamy. However, I found its greenness a bit distracting from the overall impression. Tasted May 2014.

Castelgreve Chianti Classico Riserva 2009, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$19.95
Authentic Chianti Classico and better. Going Riserva truly makes a difference. Decant 30 to 60 minutes for optimal enjoyment but not much more than that. Tasted May 2014.

Collin Bourisset Douce Folie Saint-amour 2011
Beaujolais, France$16.75
Light-to-medium-bodied & fruity wine that was quite tart at the start but opened up nicely after 30-60 minutes. All in all, a solid value in the Beaujolais universe. Tasted November 2013.

Santa Carolina Reserva De Familia Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Maipo Valley
Maipo Valley, Chile$17.95
Very nice, dense, full-bodied Cabernet-Sauvignon with a long, smooth finish. When I saw how dark this wine was when I poured the first glass, I had the feeling this would be an enjoyable experience...which was comfirmed with the first glass. Safe bet when you have guests. Going back to buy some more and repeat this nice experience. Tasted January 2012.

Masi Brolo Di Campofiorin 2006, Igt Rosso Del Veronese
Veneto, Italy$26.95
i have been keeping this wine for a couple of years and was looking forward to the day I would open it. However, this wine did not live up to my optimistic expectations. My biggest disappointment was how light this wine turned out to be (let's say light to medium body range to be fair) and the associated acidity. Also, I found the flavors to be almost completely taken over by the oak. Tasted December 2011.
