Terra D'aligi Tatone Montepulciano D'Abruzzo, 2007

We went out to dinner tonight with friends to Il Primo, a restaurant in little Italy owned by a friend of mine.  We had a wonderful dinner with good company, followed by the end of the Habs game at the Prescott across the street.  They won by the way. But I am getting off track.  This was the featured wine at the restaurant. Sorry about the picture, it was taken with my BlackBerry, hence the poor quality.

  • This wine was full bodied
  • It needed to breathe a little bit, because we didn't have a decanter it took about 30min for the wine to open up properly
  • It was a really nice table wine, it would be kind of a shame to drink it on its own, it went well with a good meal.
  • It tasted of ripe red fruits, with a long spicy finish

2007 Cellier des Dauphins Cotes du Rhone Carte Noire


This is the bottle of wine that helped me get through the Canadian Election Debate on Tuesday night without swearing.

  • It was a dry medium bodied wine
  • It was spicy in taste
  • It had floral and fruity scents
  • It was very smooth to drink
