Ther's a million good wines,here's a few. Mastroberardino Greco di Tufo, which is a dry white. Feudi Di San Gregorio Taurasi, which is a wonderful red. Also their Falanghina,Fiano di Avellino,and Greco di Tufo are wonderful.

My considerable quest for the past year has been for good Italian-STYLE wines, from California. <BR> <BR>You can learn a lot about some very dedicated wine producers who operate together the consortium www.cal-italia.org and discover some wonderful Italian style wines. <BR> <BR>My favorite is Sasso Rosso from Pietra Santa (though it may be no longer in national distribution - - replaced by Sassolino?) - - both are blends of predominantly Sangiovese. I am also fond of Il Podere dell'Olivos - - nice, inexpensive Barbera - - and I am thinking to order their Teroldego. <BR> <BR>Teroldego Rotaliano is a varietal from the Trentino region, and an excellent find, when you can locate it here in the US. Foradori is imported and available in a couple of locations here in my hometown. <BR> <BR>Is this another atttempt to drag information out of me about my grocery tours? <BR>

jen if you like red wine try chainti lamole and lamole it comes 2 ways. 1 aged in oak for 9 months and the other is not oak aged. both are excellent and frequently you can find coupons worth $5 usable at the register. usually costs 14-18 bottle without coupon. enjoy

Try a Banfi Brunello, they are like drinking velvet!
