beverages:
2004 Giuliano Tiberi Azienda Agricola, "Le Vespe", Sangiovese, Toscana IGT
Coming from just outside of the designated Chianti zone, and with 20% other indigenous blending grapes, the Le Vespe was a easy choice. Ruby red in color, the wine was full of classic Sangiovese flavors like red currant and sour cherries, with a little hint of coffee bean from it's French oak treatment.
2008 La Grange Tiphaine, "Les Cassiers," Gamay, Touraine-Amboise
Made as they would in Beaujolais, this Gamay from the Loire was given the carbonic maceration treatment with all stainless steel aging. Lots of juicy red fruit tempered by the mineral earthiness imparted from 50 year old vines grown in chalk and Silex soils.
