Affordable wines with attractive, readable labels--I remember seeing some Sicilian wines a few years ago that were either all in Italian or broken English, but lately there seems to be an effort to make them more accessible to American consumers. <br /><br />This problem persists with a lot of Greek wines that I've seen, but I imagine as they become more popular we'll see better labeling.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-31690620149542363862009-06-13T10:14:44.528-07:002009-06-13T10:14:44.528-07:00Well I might as well put in my two cents worth.

However, if you've still got any of that "world's best rosé" I'll try to swing by Joe's next week. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-11799700415366681952009-06-13T07:20:18.859-07:002009-06-13T07:20:18.859-07:00The Colosi retails for about $14 around Memphis. ...The Colosi retails for about $14 around Memphis.

I especially like the one from Colosi. If you ask me the grape reminds me a bit of Syrah but it's not as thick and is a bit dryer. Anyway's thanks for the savvy review!

It was incredible. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-28284891192001760962009-06-12T07:04:06.788-07:002009-06-12T07:04:06.788-07:00nero d'avola and big meaty pizza are made for ...nero d'avola and big meaty pizza are made for each other.fredric koeppelhttp://www.biggerthanyourhead.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-22725539392139535332009-06-11T20:40:10.544-07:002009-06-11T20:40:10.544-07:00I've had the opportunity to try two of these w...I've had the opportunity to try two of these wines since you asked me about them in December.
