The first wine\u00a0 Iwould recommend is a wine that says it all and is great especially for soemone that you have just met but really want to get the message across..<br \/>\nBaciamisubito 2007 the name &#8216;baci mi subito&#8217; means&#8217; kiss me fast&#8217; in Italian. Nothing is better to get the message across with this bottle of wine. It is a Barbera taht immediately leaves a sweet kiss of flavor on the lips. The hint of blackberry makes it a perfect pair for a dish with meat, or aged cheeses. It&#8217;s fruity taste is balanced and every taste is just\u00a0 as good as the first.<br \/>\nMore wines to come..<br \/>\nJoin\u00a0me this Sunday at 2 PM\u00a0in Jenkintown, Pa at Whole Foods Market, 1575 Fairway fora book signing and to follow a Valentine&#8217;s Day 4 course authentic Italian cooking class from The Basic Art of Italian Cooking School in Orvieto, Italy.
