Another Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row Exclusive

Enjoy a FREE Italian wine tasting tonight at Capital Beer and Wine, from 5:30-8:00 PM.

CBW promises a sample of two Sicilian white wines, and two Sardinian reds.  However, they did not specify which Winebow-distributed wines they would be.

So rather than guess, here are 4 wines offered by Winebow.

SICILIAN WHITES

TASCA D'ALMERITA, REGALEALI BIANCO SICILIA IGT (2009)

What will you notice in this dry white wine?  A definitive fruit flavor, with hints of apples, peaches, pears and citrus fruit.

Pair this with grilled calamari, sushi, or a salumi and cheese board.

TASCA D'ALMERITA, CHARDONNAY SICILIA IGT (2010)

An acidic white with plenty of sweetness, and hints of fruit and white chocolate.

Perfect with salmon.

SARDINIAN REDS

ARGIOLAS, KOREM ISOLA DEI NURAGHI IGT (2008)

Winebow describes this red wine as "voluptuous" and "exotic."  Among the aromas of berries, smoke, chocolate and spice is a hint of leather.

This pairs well with pork ribs and lamb chops.

ARGIOLAS, IS SOLINAS ISOLA DEI NURAGHI IGT (2007)

An earthy, smoky ruby red, with "violet tinges."  Expect a flavor of spice and black fruit.

Try this with grilled hamburgers or sausage.
