Nero d"Avola - Nov 21

The next wine tasting is Nov 21, and the wine is Nero d'Avola.

We've been drinking this wonderful wine for several years now. It's often a great value, with extremely drinkable wines available for between $7 and $12. Recently prices have been going up, and I think the market is catching on to what a good value this wine represents.

This is a dark red wine from Sicily, moderate tannins, excellent with food or by itself. Some wine sites compare it to Syrah, with big fruit flavors and cherry, plum, raspberry, and spice notes.

We're planning to have an Italian meal to accompany this wine, because, really, why not?

Taste some and let me know what you think.
