Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
Quite a while ago we discovered this Italian red wine at Phillips Fine Wines in Stockton, NJ. They consistently have the best assortment… both expensive fancy stuff and great value finds. In the front of the store they always have boxes stacked up of featured wines with amazing prices. You can find this Montepulciano for about $14 a bottle. I see it available in more wine stores these days. Nice and fruity. They also make a white wine with the same signature bottle. We always have a some of the red on hand and we call it stick wine.

Marchesi di Barolo 2005
This continues to be one of our favorite wines. Barolos can be one of the more expensive Italian wines, however this one will only set you back about $40. It’s consistently delicious and easy to drink. It’s our “go to” special occasion wine. We discovered this wine while having dinner at a local restaurant. We must have been celebrating something, because we ordered a bottle off their wine list and I remember it was $85. We loved it so much, we set out searching our local wine stores for another bottle. As is usually the case, it was only $40 at the liquor store. Restaurant mark-up on wine continues to amaze me. There’s something to be said for going to a BYOB. Definitely try this one if you love Italian reds, you won’t be disappointed.
