When in Milwaukee...
I ran into the liquor store near my hotel and there is a lady there asking the store owner about Italian reds. He says he doesn't know anything about wine, so I step in. They had a fair amount of Italian wine for a tiny liquor store. After some banter, I recommended this bottle of Barbera. I decided to buy a bottle for myself, because I wanted to see if it was a good recommendation. I'd say it was. A little tart and sweet, but also rustic. Would pair well with lots of food. The hotel stemware adds some fancy factor to this $16 bottle.
