So how would you rate the entirety of the wines? Sounds kind ofmezzo mezzo. How did things generally meet your expectations?

was quite satisfied with the wines that we found and recommended to us. Italy last few years has a good record. Looks as though i overlooked them inteh past. Now if I can only get some in the US

I believe that Italy is the largest importer of wine into the States. I mii fratelli don't seem to drink much of their own really great wine--instead they drink the vino di casa that comes out of the truck, and ship to good stuff to us. Viva Italia!!!
