Sandrone, no Baloney!

Gorgeous night, no bugs in sight, and 65 degrees out…this calls for dining al fresco!

Fresh organic tomatoes w/ basil over penne, grilled chicken cutlets brushed with organic rosemary olive oil, and sauteed broccoli…delicious, if I do say so myself.
Dessert? Lychee Nuts.

What's to drink? Sandrone 1997. Granted, it wasn’t the 1997 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis (not even close), but with the breeze blowing ever so slightly and the taste of the fresh pomodoro lingering in your mouth, you could close your eyes and believe you were in Italy’s Piedmont, dining in the vineyard.

This light – yes, light – bodied Sandrone Dolcetto D’Alba, has one very delightful and distinctive quality that the Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis doesn’t have: the price!
$40.00 vs. $350.00.

Come delizioso…
