Garofoli 2001 Podium Verdicchio (Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore)
- $15
Rich and stately, with superior aromas of honey, almond, peach and pear. The palate is nicely developed; it’s simultaneously soft and extracted as well as defined and structured. The spicy finish blends pepper with cinnamon. A great match for fish.

Garofoli 2000 Grosso Agontano Riserva Montepulciano (Rosso Conero)
- $25
This Montepulciano is seductively smoky, with bacon and spice aromas courtesy of full-fledged oak. The flavors run toward plum, blackberry, currants and bitter chocolate. Extracted, dense and dark; almost a star.
