 | | WINE SPECTATOR SEPT 30 2012 |
LONG TIME CUSTOMERS KNOW US AS A SKEPTICAL
BUNCH WHEN IT COMES TO QUANTIFYING
SOMETHING AS SUBJECTIVE AS WINE.
BUT, SOMETIMES A SCORE/PRICE RATIO IS SO EGREGIOUS
IT GIVES ONE REASON TO PAUSE....
SO IT IS WITH THE
WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW OF THE
2010 FOLONARI CHIANTI
"vibrant and rich, this harmonious red offers cherry, strawberry and floral notes. Picks up tobacco accents on the lingering finish"
90pts
$9 bottle $108 case
City Wine rounded up the remaining inventory available in the state and still only have 20cs.
Limit one case per customer
(We strongly suggest you call to reserve your case!)
Let's become our own "wine reviewer". What does it mean to get 90pts? Is there a consistent "theme" or any reason to this madness?
City Wine has acquired 4 different Chianti all rated 90 points (no more, no less)
We'll taste them blind and draw our own conclusions.
For this very unique and original tasting we will be opening up wines that retail for $30-45, and at:
NO CHARGE!!!
Please join us Saturday Sept 1st 3 to 5 pm
