Falesco 2005 Vitiano
This was a pretty good $10 selection. Parker rates the bottle at 89
and it has a pretty good pedigree hovering mostly in the 88-91 range. AND it actually tasted good!! It's probably the first Italian wine I've tried so far. I think it makes a good "no special occasion" wine.

Falesco 2005 Vitiano
Gary, I have tried this wine from a previous vintage and found far to much
bottle variation. One bottle GREAT and the other fair to bad. Don't know why its like that. I did find that Falesco Merlot Umbia was a good every day drinker but a little more expensive. $5.00 more about I think. "Gary Childress" wrote in message oups.com...

Oh well, thought I had a real winner on my hands for $10. But if it isn't consistent.... :-(

Keep trying it. Formulate for yourself. I was only surprised when bottles
from the same case were that different. None appeared corked. If you have better success that would be great. For a while I drank this regularly as the house wine of sorts for every day. it was like $6-7 a few years ago...like about vintage1997 "Gary Childress" wrote in message ups.com...

yes, Tainted is what I meant. They did not appear to be but then I am no
expert on that aspect. "Gary Childress" wrote in message ps.com... On May 1, 10:14 pm, "Richard Neidich" wrote: Keep trying it. Formulate for yourself.
