Your Host is Phil Sandifer of Metrowine. Phil is here to talk about a handful of the wines that he represents. Italy, Austria, and France are all well represented in this lineup. Beautiful day to be out and abour in our fine town of Fairfield. Stop by if you have some time.

  
Cantina Tollo Pecorino 2012          $14.99
This wine blossoms with scents of apricot, mango and orange peel. In the mouth this Percorino is quite rich wine with a fresh, juicy citrus like acidity. Flavors of yellow plums, wild herbs, ginger and a whisper of almond.

Artner Zwigelt Rosé 2012                          $11.99
Medium-bodied, dry. Zingy and delicious with a palate of bright red berries. Plenty of acidity on a refreshing finish.

La Tourbeille Red Bordeaux 2011           $9.99
Intense ruby color.  Rich bouquet that is aromatic of forest berries.  Flavors of deep black fruits that are true to the local terrior.  Full bodied, buoyant, clean; long on the palate with a lingering finish.  Merlot 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%, Cabernet Franc 20%

Chateau Filhot Sauternes 2005                 $19.99
Golden color.  Aromas of honey, apricot and tropical fruits.  It is rich and well-balanced with vibrant acidity.  Long on the palate with a creamy finish.  Ready to drink now but will age for many more years.  More complexity as it ages.
