w.h.wednesday part 6

Ionia Imports with Scott Reed

at least they had wines I hadnt tried before..

Suliccenti Insolia 2007 Sicily.. bright fruit with a little rustic bent to the finish.. interesting wine but I have better Insolia in the store..

Kudyah Nero D'Avola Sicily 2005 fruity nose and juicy..nice acidity a great food wine.

Ronna Syrah Sicily 2005 Ronna means woman..to show a softer side of syrah.. unoaked and uninteresting.. juicy with enough fruit but not a great show of what the grape can do.

Kroara Red Piemonte barbera Light purple int he glass. a nice wine for the money a touch plummy and mocha on the finish.. this will be at the next wine tasting in june

La Capannelle Toscana 2005 IGT so it is not exactly Sangiovese, a blend with merlot and syrah.. traditional italian stink.. good acidity but missing something of a nerve...cute label though
