IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS...
Just mulling over the impending arrivals and new stuff that are on their way to our stores – it’s enough to make one’s head spin. First off, a big shout out to the great wines of Domenico Selections due in just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Good friend Terence Hughes, owner of Domenico and blogger over at

A SIMPLE MATTER OF NEEDING HELP
The “silly season” (the holidays for those at home) is fast descending and as luck would have it, we here at D.E.P.’s Fine Wine & Spirits (the wine store formerly known as Liquor Direct Wine & Spirits) is short-staffed. Before the parade of “sounds-like-a-personal-problem-to-me” jokes come out, let me just say that

ALTESINO ROSSO DI ALTESINO 2007
In keeping with the Italian bent I have been on as of late, the Altesino Rosso di Altesino 2007 is a "Super-Tuscan" style blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that is fermented and aged completely in stainless steel tanks, giving it a lot of vibrancy in its color, aromas and flavors.

WINE & MUSIC: WINE SCORES AND BOB SEGER
I’ve been a pretty big Bob Seger fan ever since I was a kid. I guess it had to do with his Midwestern sensibilities.
