Terredora di Paolo
Campania, IT
Falanghina 2010
"From one of the region's most reliable estates, this is a highly appealing wine. Aromas of sage and citrus peel mingle with lime sherbet notes. There's lots of flavor on offer too, with a lush, concentrated palate showing sweet pink grapefruit and hints of red berries." - Decanter Magazine

Terredora di Paolo
Campania, IT
Aglianico 2009
"Readers searching an Aglianico that won't break the bank will want to check out Terredora's 2009 Aglianico. There is plenty of varietal character in the dark wild cherries, underbrush, tobacco, tar, spices and cured meats. The tannins dry out a bit on the finish, but that is a relatively small criticism for a wine at this level. Three months in oak add body without marking the wine. This is a gorgeous wine, especially for the money. It will show at its best if given some aeration in advance. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019." - Wine Advocate

Lechthaler
Trentino Alto-Adige, IT
Teroldego Rotaliano 2009 It shows, ripe black cherry, distinct sweet earth and tobacco on the nose. In the mouth you get more cherries - black and red - as well as black raspberry, earth, and a touch of spice, all wrapped with ample acidity and medium tannins. A smooth texture carries the wine with polish. The finish leans toward the acidity and tannins, and the fruit mellows to a pleasantly bitter flavor mixed with black fruit. Pairs ideally with beef, fish, vegetarian dishes, poultry and pork.

Wine, Wine & More Wine - Interesting Facts
"Most wine is served in a glass that has a gently curved rim at the top to help contain the aromas in the glass. The thinner the glass and the finer the rim, the better. A flaring, trumpet-shaped class dissipates the aromas." - 800wine.com
