2003 Fratelli Bellini Chianti

Visually stunning or as they say in the UK: common (A.D.: "my mother always used to say, 'if it comes in straw, its got to be good silver or very precious porcelain. If its wine, then give it a very wide berth, because straw is visual, but wine is a taste, and one, doesn't ordinarily mean the other is good'). Here's a useful architectural tip: "she always used to turn these bottles into lamps." A.D.: "Reminds me of endless holidays when I was young and cheap, Italian hotels. Rimini, and leo di Solo spring to mind like a long forgotten nightmire." Josephine: "I'm going back to my Merlot".
