I confess to having a penchant recently for polished, complex Tuscan reds such as Morazzano\u2019s 2005 Re.\u00a0 And what a wine Re is.\u00a0 Born on the hills of Montescudaio close to Sassicaia and some of Tuscany\u2019s other illustrious names, Re outperforms most Brunello di Montalcino in my book and a host of lesser \u201cSuper Tuscans,\u201d too.\u00a0 Consequently, Re is one of my top picks for the month time.\u00a0 Give this beauty some breathing time, and then taste it again and again as it works its magic.<\/p>\n
My other Top pick for this month is Alejandro Fernandez\u2019s 2005 El Vinculo, an old vine Tempranillo from La Mancha.\u00a0 El Vinculo demonstrates La Mancha\u2019s ability to produce outstanding Tempranillo.\u00a0 It is one of the finest wines I have ever tasted from La Mancha and another resounding success from Alejandro Fernandez, Spain\u2019s King of Tempranillo; hence, my choice as this month\u2019s other Top Pick!<\/p>\n
A Votre Sant\u00e9!<\/p>\n
