wonderful red wine.
We had to run into Beverages and More Saturday and decided that we needed to get some wine. Bob ran off to look for reds and I looked at whites. I immediately spotted a 2006 Trebbiano from Citra winery in Abruzzo Italy. Grabbed that. I started hunting for a Vihno Verde and a Cava.
Bob, meanwhile, grabbed a Malbec and a merlot. By that time I had my whites in hand and suggested that he try something different since we were planning on steak and mushroom soup for dinner.
We spotted a 2006 Montepulciano D'Abruzzo also from Citra vineyards. WOW! We opened the bottle Saturday night and we both just fell in love. We finished it last night and it was the same - love at first sip. Verdict is that we must go back and get some more, especially since it was not a real expensive wine (plus if you buy 6 bottles you get a dollar off each bottle!). Now for the absolute best part - no sinus problems and no nuclear meltdowns with this wine.
I think I'll suggest he stop at BevMo on his way home! If you have one close give this a try, it's perfect with steak and did pretty good with the mushroom soup too!

You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!
