Enjoyed Yesterday At 1st With Wine Rep Mark Congdon Of J.W. Sieg & Michel Dumas Some 2011 100% Lagrein Red From The AZIENDA AGRICOLA BALTER, Then Later @ Home With My Wife Here In Northern Virginia! A Treat!!

Drank some great dry Lagrein red last night from the Azienda Agricola Balter, the 2011, 12.5% alcohol by volume : it's a cousin of the Malbec grape they say, from Rovere, Trentino : that's softer, rounder, richer, mellower, more fruit-forward and smooth than most, this one more drinkable on it's own than most. This weekend you get a chance to try it here in the store. I will include that info shortly. Love this dry red, went great with the Pesto Tirtellini that my wife fixed us last night for dinner with our Parmesan cheese, too! Cheers, Happy Thursday, August 29th, 2013 : it's still the summer, wow, what a treat still : enjoy it while you can.   Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn    This wine will be included in our weekend tasting , our Labor Day Weekend in Cleveland Park neighborhood, Washington D.C. Northwest, 20008, 202-363-4265   anthony.quinn@clevelandparkwines.com, come on by : it's free always, call or email for more information. This sure is a real treat and very reasonably-priced, too at under $20 a bottle retail. Cheers, Happy Thursday, August 29th, 2013 ... it's still summer here, enjoy it with a bottle of this delicious Lagrein dry 2011 red from Trentino. I wonder if they have any relatives making wine in Brazil as so many did move there and are making wines now?!?  Tell me if any of you know? Thanks,   TONY
