2005 Bolla Valpolicella

Andy & I bought this wine several months ago because we were wanting to try something different and Alyssa recommended it to us. I recently got a bolognese recipe from her and thought this would be a great time to try out this tasty Italian red. Our first course was Caprese salad and the wine was delicious with this! Next we had the pasta and bolognese sauce, it was very good paired with that also. We will certainly have this wine again sometime and definitely with the Caprese salad! BevMo $14.99 (ish). CHEERS!

We were at Trader Joe's the other week and saw this winery had their wine on sale for $1.99 per bottle! Well, how can you pass that up? We tried three different ones and liked them all.
2008 Chardonnay was good. We had it with some sort of chicken, I can't remember. Not my fav Chardonnay but drinkable.
2007 Merlot also was tasty. We had this with our flank steak and it was definitely drinkable. I'd buy this one again if I were having to pinch pennies.
2007 White Zinfandel very good. I opened this the other evening to sip on after dinner and to watch a movie. Great sipping wine! Will buy this over and over again! CHEERS!
