I think James and I both started buying this with the 2001 vintage; 2003 was the best vintage I remember, by 2005 this was still drinkable but the newer 2006 is downright forgettable. We’ve just stopped buying it altogether.

Price:9.99
Description:Rosso Doc - Cantina: Femar Vini - Grado alcolico: 13,5% Vitigni: Cesanese 80%, Barbera 10%, Montepulciano 10%

We don’t drink a lot of Italian wines but this on was just 9.99 so well worth a try. It’s fine – I believe this would cellar for a few more years.

Winery:Black Mountain  (Sonoma, California)
Vintage:2002
Retailer:Trader Joe's
Price:$5.99

Our favorite inexpensive pinot–and among our favs, period. The 2003 is the best. The 2002 is probably a bit too old already, as it was subpar.
