I must admit that I’m a doubter about the quality of cheaper wines. Due to my involvement in making wine, I still can’t figure out how these wines are produced, shipped, distributed, and then bought by the consumer and anyone made any money!
I’ve been a big fan of Italian wines for sometime. The Italians generally produce wonderful food friendly wines. On the way home this evening, I stopped by one of my favorite wine shoppes to purchase something to go with the wonderful Schnitznel my wife was making for dinner.
I was looking for something to cut the fat in the pork and decided to bring home a bottle made by Tomaresco called “Neprica”. Made in the Puglia region of Italy, it’s a blend of Negroamara, Primitivo, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best of all, it was $9.99! I was pleasently surprised by this wine. Really wonderful and paired well with the pork.
I plan on stopping by tomorrow and buying a case!
I am quite suspect of the under $10 category as well, and have only found a few worth mentioning. I’ll try and find this one, thanks for the recommendation!
Really an excellent buy. Let me know what you think!
