Cantina de Negrar Bardolino Classico 2004 - $ 9.85
Style: R1
Italy: Veneto
We don't see enough Bardolino on store shelves, an under-rated wine that always delivers a great price: performance ratio. This Classico edition shows a rich nose of blackberries and bing cherries with hints of tobacco, cedar and dark chocolate. Quite fruity on the palate, somewhat forward, with a fresh acidity, light tannins and cranberry and blackcurrant flavours. Medium bodied and with very good length, it would be an ideal mate for antipasti, chili or tomato sauces. (LCBO 039701)

My Wine of the Week is selected on the basis of "bang for the buck." I look for wines that offer good, every day value. My picks are loosely based around a $12-$15 ceiling, and must be readily available.
