With the fall season in full swing now, we are all looking forward to the bounty of fall vegetables, roasted meat and vegetable dishes, and of course some great red wines to enjoy alongside. You have, no doubt, already received your Sokolin Fall Catalog and hopefully, you've had a chance to go through it and are already in the process of enjoying some of these great wines at your home.
We always come across several great wine values each year, and I'm happy to share one of these values with you. 2010 San Guido Guidalberto, priced at just $39.99/bottle, is a Super-Tuscan wine made from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. This wine offers a typical blend of Bordeaux grapes from the Tuscany region of Italy at an atypical price. This incredible blend is made by the great producer of Sassicaia, one of the most well known and sought after Super-Tuscan wines around. While Sassicaia usually sells for about $169 - $299 per bottle, depending on vintage, you can enjoy this amazing pedigree in their second wine that they call Guidalberto for just a fraction of this cost.
The 2010 Guidalberto boasts huge aromas of dark berries, chocolate and black plums. Hints of tobacco and herbal notes give way to a mouth coating mid-palate of fruit and wonderful acidity that lingers into a fantastic finish. Delicious with a cheese platter and antipasti, this wine is also ideal for a simple grilled steak or chicken dinner at home on a weeknight.
Do yourself a favor and grab a case of this beauty and experience the Super-Tuscan pedigree of Sassicaia at the affordable price of an everyday wine.
