My FAVE – what’s NOT to like??
2006 Banfi Cum Laude …….
ruby red, intense & very deep.
full-bodied, dense tannins, round & soft……

the Rosa Regale is always a nice ending….
a fresh raspberry taste, crisp,
enticing to the palate… luscious finish.

a rich chocolate brownie….brushed with Kahlua,
velvety chocolate mousse, fresh whipped cream
& home-made chocolate sauce……

There are two reasons for drinking wine…
when you are thirsty, to cure it;
the other, when you are not thirsty, to prevent it…
prevention is better than cure.
