New 2009 Wine List

We’ve updated our wine list for the 2009 season. It’s becoming very challenging to keep our list current. Vendors are consolidating constantly and wines change importers regularly. Our goal is, keep wines on our list that we consider to be great values, unique wines or hard to find gems. We constantly search for new wines that work within our menu structure. When you offer all Italian Food and Wine menus, you have to make sure and cover all the different regions.

This year our focus was to eliminate slow moving wines and replace them with different wines we felt were better suited for our new menu choices and customer’s palettes. Since we aren’t adding a a lot of different wines, our focus was to pick out about a dozen new fun wines that were reasonably priced. Some of these wines were previous monthly specials that were well received, such as the Ognissole and Campofiorin.
Two of the new wines we added this year were are from Angelini, a producer in the Veneto region. We found a Merlot and Pinot Noir that work well with our menu structure, both wines are great values and pair well with our menu. The Merlot is 100 percent merlot grapes and has both raspberry and blueberry notes. This wine is going to pair well with all red meat dishes and pasta dishes with cream sauces. The Pinot Noir is 100 percent pinot noir grapes with red berries on the nose along with a hint of candy apple and plums. A nice pairing for pork chops or grilled salmon.
As you can see, our focus is to provide a food friendly wine list that evolves with our menu and our customer likes and dislikes. I think the 2009 season will provide everyone with lots of fun choices to pair food and wine. Our new menu is almost finished and promises to be the best ever. If you’re anything like me, I bet you can’t wait. Get ready for an exciting season and some awsome additions. (I can’t give away all our secrets)

    This it is an interesting article. But first of all I must say all every one. . And second I must say that I m going to post http://www.varanos.com/blog/varanos_italian_wine/new-2009-wine-list on my Facebook profile. I will do this because at last I found what I was looking for. What you give us here is really good information. In the second I saw this tittle, Varano's Italian Restaurant Wine Blog » New 2009 Wine List, on google search I was very glad. I think I found something with the same ideea here http://www.xbileteavion.ro, I’m not sure but I thing it was the same. All the best
