Take it from the wino accountant - look to the lesser known varietals for value. Nero D'Avola always reminds me of a cabernet. This one is very dry with earthy aromas. That means it smells a bit like manure - but trust me it works. I think this one was under $9 for the bottle. Mrs. Vino will be walking thru the door after 4 days in DC with the 8th grade class. I'll just hook her up intervenously to the bottle and send her to bed.
