Ahh, a Friday night and I am home from a 5-day trip to Atlanta for a conference. Everything is fresh and green at home on this mid-May evening in Michigan. The first thing I did when I got home (after kissing my husband and hugging my dog) was to see how my garden was doing. I have little green onions that are about 2 inches tall and I have lettuce that is ready to be harvested!
I chose this Italian Bolla Bardolino tonight for our laid-back evening. I set the table and was going to prepare dinner, but Tom insisted that I should not cook on my first night at home (eat your heart out ladies). So, we will order a pizza and it so happens that this wine is the best choice from those available. (Our supply is getting sparse; we need to bring up bottles from the basement AND we need to purchase more.) This Italian red wine is medium-bodied with intense flavors. The nose is robust with cherries and vanilla. It is crisp, clean and dry — fairly acidic with firm tannins.
I like this wine and would defintely purchase it again. It is wonderful to be home.
