small vineyards/major brands tim Freehan

Verdicchio del Castelli di Jesi Marche 2010  always liked this wine.. good weight and minerality with some honeyed character

La Quercia MOntepulciano d Abruzzo 2010 almost mistaken for a rhone.. nose of iodine and earth.. not overly so.. lots of grip on the palate.. good food wine

Sikelia Nero d'avola Sicily 2010 stainless steel.. lots of red berry fruit on nose and palate.. tasty

Tortarossa Toscana  2010 , made from 100% sangiovese. cute label takes a shot at layer cake.. the name means red cake... somewhat sweet on the palate..

Bocelli Sangiovese IGT  a little green on the nose, a little italian stink.. some nice fruit. but not really that interesting

Bocelli Prosecco soft mousse, good acidity, light white peach on the finish.. and yes it is that Bocelli
