It is a special treat to have Mike Tiano, who is just back from Vin Italy, present these interesting new wines at the bar this Saturday. Here is a wonderful opportunity to compare wines from two of the original wine producing nations; sparkling, white, rosé and red ...what more could we offer? See you Saturday for a great tasting!

Bisol "Belstar" Prosecco; Valdobbiadene, Italy
This may be the perfect aperitif sparkling wine! Made from the late ripening Prosecco grape and grown in the best region, it is redolent with enticing fruit and floral aromas. Light and elegant with a very fine bead, the wine is refreshing, pure and scintillating. Considered to be among the best of the Italian Prosecco producers, Bisol has a remarkable range of wines and this may be their best value. The clean fruit flavors and the tell-tale nuance of almonds on the refeshing finish make this a new AWM favorite!

2009 Skouras Moscofilero; Peloponnese, Greece
The color is light white-yellow. Opulent aromas of white flowers and honeysuckle lead the way on this aromatic white. The medium-bodied palate offers a nicely rounded cut with notes of rose petal and passion fruit. Bright, joyful acidity that is positively refreshing leads on to a surprisingly long finish of orange rind and a whisper of white pepper.

2009 Vecchia Torre Rosato; Leverano, Italy
Finally available, this is a beauty. Produced from Negromaro with a touch of Malvasis Nera, the deep pink color ushers in intense aromas of ripe, red and white berry fruits, with notes of Mediterranean scrubland and flowers. The fruit-rich, fresh palate is firm with good grip and length. And it goes with practically everything. Try it on a picnic, or with seafood, ham, gumbo, and great just by itself.

2007 Skouras Saint George - Cabernet Sauvignon; Peloponnese, Greece
95% Saint George and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon is the makeup of this engaging, medium-bodied red perfect for warm weather fare. The color is a brilliant, medium-deep violet with pink hues. On the nose it is vivid and intense with aromas of black cherries, and blackberries with hints of plums, violets, and dried herbs. On the palate it has medium body, moderate acidity with smooth tannins, all in harmony. The aftertaste is moderate with a note of gentle anise seed. Take this on a picnic, enjoy it with spicy sausages or pair it with grilled foods.
