- HuckSawyer - 02-06-2006 A welcome surprise . . . we enjoyed a pair of 2004 Da Vinci DOCG Chianti's during the Super Bowl - er, "Big Game" - and although I foolishly let the firewood get wet and had to resort to a Pine Log it was still a delightful little discovery. Just wanted to share. I've already discarded the receipt but I believe each bottle was in the range of $14. Last bottle enjoyed: Jadot Pinot Noir Bourg - Innkeeper - 02-06-2006 Did you eat anything with it? It would have gone well with our meatball sandwiches. - HuckSawyer - 02-06-2006 Meatballs are EXACTLY what she prepared! In some sort of (vague here) grape & barbecue sauce, in the crockpot. Apps were chili & black bean nachos. For Xmas I purchased a 2 pound Truffle sampler from Defluri's and they made up a wonderful finisher. I think - still thinking but cannot recall - I think we have some Horton rasperry wine but I never got around to it. Two bottles is hardly enough to make sweeping recommendations, but they were good enough to buy a few more! Viva Chianti! - robr - 02-06-2006 I've had this one -- it's really pretty good. It has an olive finish flavor that makes it really good with Italian food. |
