Look for a good Vernaccia. Terre di Tufi is my favorite.

Excelent choice. A very tasty bottle.

We just got in an amazing white Aglianico, from Pipoli in Basilacata. 8 bucks. Apricots, spice and a dense minerality. Fabulous.

Hopwever for value, the The Three Thieves are doing a Trebbiano from Emilia Romagna. One Liter -8 bucks. Good clean light bodied Italian white that you can swig all night long.. It comes in a box, like Parmalat Tomatoes, so that can be off putting to some.

Three Thieves Info Here

Greg Smolik formerly of Sam's in Chicago is importing the Pipoli through Maverick. We sell both here at Que Syrah in Chicago, but you should be able to get info for national distribution.

how much would a good vernaccia or a Terre di Tufi cost? and can you get these from liquor store or do you have to go to a wine shop?

Pieropan Soaves are in that price range, very consistent, and readily available.

Expect to pay between $15-20 for them. If the liquor store has a very good wine selection, they should have them, otherwise go to a good wine shop.
