Firriato Etna Rosso 2008, Doc

Soft, with a touch of mint, fruit, and spice, makes this an enjoyable wine. It is a nice wine but I would not rate it 90 points (Antonio Galloni).

Château De Fontenelles Cuvée Renaissance 2006, Ac Corbières
Languedoc, France$18.95
Bold and medium full-bodied blended with good percentage of syrah. Fruity and a bit minty with a long finish. It is a good idea to air it for a while before drinking.

This is an impressive Merlot from
Napa Valley, California. Medium-bodied, with tastes of berries and a touch of spice. Cellar it for a few more years and you will like it more. It is already very nice and enjoyable now. Great with BBQ steak. Excellent price/performance ratio.

I Greppi Greppicante Bolgheri 2007, Doc
Tuscany, Italy$17.75
This is a nice blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It is a full-bodied wine with tastes of coffee, fruits and oak. Best to keep it in the cellar for a year or two. Right now, it has too much wood taste. Decant it for a few hours befire drinking an dyou will like it better.
