Valpolicella 04 Zenato
Friday night is pizza night so I pulled out a 04 Valpolicella. Good this is good, with a slight bitterness that suggests ripe olives but a full and earthy flavor that evokes Italian. This is pretty good stuff and less than I would guess. 11.99US per. -- Joseph Coulter, cruises and vacations www.josephcoulter.com 877 832 2021 904 631 8863 cell |

This was their Valpolicella Classico,I presume? FWIW, I first had it dining with my in-laws in a small Italian joint in Flagler County -- small world!

What I like about it is the slight bitterness which initially reminded me of olives but also of the potential for the wines of this region to grow up and be Amarone -- Joseph Coulter, cruises and vacations www.josephcoulter.com 877 832 2021 904 631 8863 cell |

Hi there,
if you have a chance, try the Ripassa from Zenato. We have only 2005 of Valpolicella, sorry:-) Matthias |
