Pizza demands juicy, fresh wine and time and time again, I find myself reaching for anything Cristina Brunori makes. A world-class producer of Tuesday nighters, her old vines, mineral soil, and the temperate winds of the Adriatic all help produce vibrantly flavored grapes. She says her job is to not mess up what Mother Nature is so good at making.
Brunori wines always represent great bang for the buck. Very rarely can find such pristine fruit and food friendliness in a $16 bottle of wine.
Cristina and her family grow Sangiovese and Montepulciano in the Marches, a spectacularly beautiful spot in Italy right on the Adriatic coast. It’s an area often missed by American tourists, too far from Tuscany, Venice or Rome to ever make it there in the same trip. But, the landscape is beautiful, the fish and produce out of this world. The pizza is not too bad either.
When the Brunori make pizza in their 150 year old wood fired oven, they drink their Rosso Piceno, a bowl of berries with just the right touch of Italian rusticity. You should too. The 2018 just hit my cellar, it’s a terrific Tuesday nighter, get it into your pizza rotation ASAP!

92 Points, Wine Spectator
With their access to an abundance of the best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St. Helena, Coombsville, Atlas Peak, Calistoga and Howell Mountain). The 2017 is a massive, show stopping Cabernet, a seamless blend that earned a rave 92-point review from the Wine Spectator in their most recent report.
Château Sipian is an extremely well-regarded Left Bank estate with old vines, rooted in the classic gravelly soil of Bordeaux. This creates a perfect setting for making medium bodied, aromatic Cabernet based blends that drink well young, are fantastic at the table and age gracefully in a proper cellar.
The Trittico is a blend of young vine Sangiovese and Cabernet, vinified in stainless steel tanks. It displays a bright, ruby red color and aromas of black raspberry and cherry with a touch of earth. Great fruit and good acidity make it incredibly food friendly, absolutely perfect with pizza. Regularly: $25, just $17/bottle on cases!
If you haven’t had a bottle of Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley, it’s time to change that immediately. There’s probably no better place to start than right here. The Chad 2018 shows off the best of Oregon in 2018; fine aromatics, pretty fruit and a long, mineral backbone that makes it great at the table with anything.
