Though after we\u2019ve finished the Greco di Tufo, I would love a glass of Pietra Santa\u2019s first Signature Selection Pinot Noir, a beauty of a Pinot, followed by a glass or two of the Mr. Riggs 2011Montepulciano d\u2019Adelaide Hills.\u00a0 Kudos to Ben Riggs for not only stepping out of his comfort zone, but doing so with gusto.\u00a0 This rare limited offering from Ben Riggs is a real beauty.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Salute!
