I know a lot of great wines. But you wouldn't have heard of them. My job at a wine store means that I taste a lot of obscure wines. This blog is a record of my better finds in the $10 to $20 range. If you have any questions please drop me an email at stiebelben@gmail.com. I always love to talk wine.

Cantina Zaccagnini Il Bianco di Ciccio 2010 (about $17)
About the Wine:Cantina Zaccagnini is an Italian winery known for their citrusy Pinot Grigio and robust Montepulciano. This wine is a white blend.
About THIS Wine: In the glass the wine is hay colored with no distinct rim. Sharp pineapple dominates the nose. The palate is very tart with strong citrus and pineapple notes. The finish is fairly complex, with continuing citrus and pineapple along with hints of banana.
Drinking This Wine: I would have it with seafood, either salmon or perhaps a seafood jambalaya. The palate is a bit sharp for a sipping wine.
Overall Impression: This is good wine for anyone who loves bold whites. That said, it could be a few dollars cheaper. It is good, but a little overpriced.
