San Francisco
Sparked by a boyfriend obsessed with Thomas Keller and the Zagat guide, Bernadette began learning about Bay Area cuisine; she can talk forever about local restaurants and the offerings at the Ferry Building! But what to drink with her most cherished dishes? Not a clue. A self-admitted wine "newbie", Bernadette is determined to discover some of the best wines under $50 and build a personal cellar of affordable yet delightful selections.

2004 Armando Parusso - Barolo Mariondino
There is a very distinct "ripe peach" aroma on the nose! Mouth-watering and luscious, nice balance with velvety tannins, and a smooth finish. Very unexpected for a Barolo - in a blind tasting, no one guessed that's what it was.

NV Vientos - Alcyone
A surprising treasure from Uruguay, this tannat is unbelievably velvety and rich - almost like a chocolate syrup.

2008 Tournelle - L'Uva Arbosiana
Strong, earthy nose; looks like a dark rose, but there are some medium tannins on the palate. A strange yet pleasant wine.

2005 Comte Lafond - Sancerre
Tried this wine during the appetizer portion of dinner - paired with amuse bouche of creamy goat cheese crostini. Bright and cheerful, less fruity on the nose than many Sauvignon Blancs. Very pleasant.

My New Italian Love Affair
I love Italian food, but I know absolutely nothing about Italian wine.  (My personal cellar is over 50% French, with an affinity for pinot noir, champagne, Cremant d'Alsace, and white Burgundies.)  Aside from the...
