Vicchiomaggio Ripa Delle Mandorle 2009, Igt Toscana
Tuscany, Italy$15.95
The Vicchiomaggio Castle has had a long and storied history, including playing host to Leonardo da Vinci while he was painting the Mona Lisa. Owner and award-winning winemaker John Matta has created his own work of art with this delicious wine. Graceful and complex aromas of berry, spice, cocoa and violets. The palate is dry, juicy and medium bodied, with great depth, silky tannins, and ripe fruit accented by spice. Pair with veal scallopini and put a smile on your guests’ faces. (VINTAGES panel, July 2011)

Château D'argadens 2008, Ac Bordeaux Supérieur
Bordeaux, France$17.95
Fresh and supple, with an aromatic singed bay leaf edge to the medium-weight plum and black currant fruit. A flash of iron gives the finish some length. Drink now through 2013.
