I've had this wine a couple times before, though never written about it. It's really a great, simple and enjoyable red from Tuscany. It's a pretty typical Tuscan blend of mostly Sangiovese with some Cabernet Sauvginon and some Merlot. There's nothing particularly earth-shattering about it, but it's always a win when I pour a wine for a party and one of our friends tries it and says, "Oh, I like this. And I didn't think I liked red wine."
That friend and I went on to talk about a really great topic when it comes to drinking wine, how do you take your wine drinking to a more serious level? My simple answer was to pay attention. Pay attention to what you're drinking and why; what you like about it and what you don't. While only $10 or $15, at the end of the day, this kind of wine is what it's all about: a wine that helps people try new things and opens their taste buds to new possibilities.
Yay for pink pigs.
