I like to consider myself the Carrie Bradshaw of the wine world. Not because I am a particularly talented writer, but because I love LA as much as she loves NY AND my expenditures on wine equal hers on Manolo Blahniks. In the 2006 calendar year I spent $13,846.37 on wine. Retail. For some big collectors that’s nothing, I know. But for me, with my modest income, that’s more than I pay annually in rent. And that’s why I’m like Carrie Bradshaw, she couldn’t afford her apartment either.

The Grandson.
"I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse..." I feel like Don Corleone when I drink Sicilian wine, I want to say things like that. Terre di Giurfo, Maskaria, Cerasuolo di Vittoria, 2003 ($18.99) another recommendation from the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, has loads of sweet stewed red fruits, with aromas of barnyard animals (some might say a horse's head) but not in a bad way. Packed with acidity. If you like them dirty, grab a cannoli and get a bottle of Maskaria. Go ahead, live a little, you never know when you'll be sleeping with the fishes...
