I am not an expert, just a discerning wine lover or amateur de vin (as the French say), but everyone has a different palate, likes and dislikes so it must be understood that any of my recommendations are personal. I just hope that you find them useful or at the very least - interesting. I also hope you enjoy my photos. It is more fun sharing then keeping them backed up on a hard drive.

Great Value from Southern Europe


ULISSE - UNICO - PECORINO, 2010 - Abruzzo, Italy - $17.95

Well integrated wine with notes of apple, grapefruit, lime and a hint of vanilla. Each time I tried it, I liked it more.
