I have been saving this one for month.
What better wine to serve on Mother's Day than MOMA. No not the Museum of Modern Art but a tasty red wine, easy to drink and yummy with food from Italy.
We have carried this wine for numerous vintages, dating back to 2001. The 2007 arrived about a month ago and it could be the best ever. I tasted it at one of the Cape Cod shows I went to back in March and went cuckoo over it. It was smooth with nice flavors. I think it will handle a red sauce ok, but it will be great if you are honoring Mom with a barbque at your house because she needs a break. The wine's price is $15.99 and don't forget to do the dishes! Don't forget the card, get her a mushy one this year instead of the silly one you always get her. On second thought, buy the silly one too, just in case. Moms love surprises, even when they say they don't. And get a haircut, and take a shower, and put on a clean shirt, and shine your shoes, and pour the wine in a clean glass.
You get the picture.

Promises, promises
Pizza Pasta!
Two of the most popular red wines in the store are the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from Zacagnini and the Primativo from Le Sciare.
Montepulciano is the variety of grape that is the most widely planted grape in Italy. It should not, but it always is, be confused with dry red wine from the town of Montepulciano where they dont grow any Montepulciano. The Zaccagnini is the easiest wine to recognize in the store. It has a piece of grape vine attached to the neck of the bottle. It sells for $15.99 a bottle and is easy drinking and full of flavor to compliment pizza and red sauce pasta. Smooth enough for a Merlot drinker, complex enough for classic Italian red drinker.
Primativo is the variety of grape in southern Italy that is the same grape as the Zinfandel of California. But wait. DNA analysis proves that the Primativo is in fact native not to Italy but somewhere on the north east coast of the Adriatic. This wine is equally yummy but has a bit more fruit to it. This works better if you put red hot pepper flakes on your pizza or love your red sauce fra Diavolo. This sells for $12.99 a bottle.
Oh, the new and improved Domino's pizza is better than it used to be.
