Hi Daniel. One year ago I was going through Italy with a gf. We stopped in a small town in the north to get out of the rain. The little cafe at the hotel was almost deserted because it was off season. We ordered a glass of house wine with dinner and the boy who brought it to the table was absolutely gorgeous. I have never seen a more beautiful man. And I knew instantly that he was noticing me too. My gf went to bed early so I casually slipped back down to the lobby. Sure enough, my guy was just finishing his job. We walked through the night. We kissed. We made love until dawn when I said farewell forever. The wine was just a rought little Chianti, but I will never taste it again without smiling.

Nero d'Avola
Nero d'Avola is "the most important red grape in Sicily,"with potential to make wines of rather high quality and ageability. It is as yet still somewhat underappreciated. It is frequently part of the blend of some Marsala wines.
Nero d'Avola is considered as the most typical and representative red grape of Sicily, excluding the territory of Etna. The incorrect name Calabrian is an "Italianization" of the word in old Sicilian dialect, Calaurisi which actually means "grape of Avola." Nero d'Avola ("black (grape) of Avola") was selected for cultivation by grape-growers of Avola (Siracusa) several hundred years ago and spread to the commune of Noto (SR), the provinces of Ragusa and Caltagirone, and recently throughout the rest of the island.
When cultivated to yield a low quantity of fruit per vine, this grape variety is capable of expressing the characteristics of important aged red wines. An aroma of red fruit and typically "sweet" tannins that persist after many years are the most significant components. At the same time, this grape also lends itself well to the production of young and novello wines of a suggestive red and violet-tinged color, highly pronounced aroma of red fruit (plum, blackberry) and smooth tannins. It may also have a peppery or jammy taste.

Blossom Hill Whate Zinfandel because it is so fruity and easy to drink.
And because the pub near my office sells it at £5.99 a bottle!
