Banfi 2009 Chianti Superior ($9.79) from Italy. This is not 100% Sangiovese, but the blend is not available for their 2009 vintage. I'm at a loss for this wine. It met with mixed reviews from customers and it mostly was not favorable. As for myself, I found it very inconsistent. Throughout the tasting I taste the wines I'm pouring to see how they've changed after being opened. This wine was all over the place and not in a good way. It was tart, tannic, and occasionally vinegary. I questioned the stores wine consultant on whether it had gone bad, but they said it was fine. I don't recommend this. Winemaker's Notes: (Not available)
Cupcake (NV) Moscato ($9) from Italy and 100% Muscat of Alexandria. A great fruity aroma with a melon and apricot flavor. A nice refreshing wine with a little frizzante. If you're a Moscato fan, you should try this.
Winemaker's Notes: Add sparkle to your life with our creamy, delicious bubbly made of 100% Moscato grapes grown in the hills of Italy's Piedmont region. Another great reason to reward yourself. It is a fragrant and delicious white wine with gentle bubbles, perfect for brunch, aperitif or dessert. Aromas of peaches along with flavors of tropical fruits and lychee. It is a rich full-bodied wine with just a hint of effervescence to tickle the palate.
