Cheap, and Good???

Mustard Seed Market in Solon, OH offers wine tastings every Saturday. This weekend, we tasted the 2009 Petraio Nero d'Avola - a Sicilian wine. Jammy with fruit notes on the nose and gentle acidity - this turned out to be a good wine. And, the price of $5.99 was irresistible so we loaded up the cart with five bottles of Petraio along with seven other bottles of red and white to complete the case. This evening, I opened the first of the five bottles, patiently decanted it (I know decanting a $6 wine seems over the top but I just wanted to try decanting for the first time) and have been sipping it for the past couple hours. Let me tell you Cheap AND Good does exist in the world of wine.

    Hello Dhiraj!

    We import this wine and are flattered you enjoyed it so much and cared to share your thoughts!

    Keep an eye out for the Petraio Sangiovese and Primitivo. They're also great values.

    Cheers,
