Marchetti Imports from Golden Barrel with Doug

Italian and Spanish selections

Avanti Delle Venezie Pinot Grigio 2006 a touch sweet but nice body and longish finish.,

Caleo Primitivo 2004 italian stink...very much horse rode wet and put up to dry...but very nice flavors on the palate...and its on sale for $5. dark colors and fruit and saddleleather on the back end..not that i have ever licked a saddle...that i know of.

Neirano Moscato 2007 sweet pretty muscat nose..a touch cloying but pleasant enough finish.

Bodegas Aragonesas Crucillon 2005 great value wine..dark berry fruit,, nice acidity and a dark cherry finish....amazing wine for the cost.

Bodegas Aragonesas Don Ramon 2005 another winner, juicy bing cherry nice fruit through the finish.. lush.

Coto de Hayas Campo de Borja Tinoto...another great value...50% grenache which often times comes off tinny when new vines... but here it has fruit forward flavors with nice tannin.

Coto de Hayas Campo Rosato... 2007 mostly grenache..strawberry nose fot not sweet at all but not too dry...another good value
