Villa Andretti 2009 Dolcetto (California)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
A good, dry wine for drinking with Italian fare rich in cheese and tomato sauce. The acidity cuts right through. Meanwhile, sour cherry candy flavors will wake up with a nice cut of beef and bring out the wine’s inherent sweetness.

Villa Andretti 2009 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
- $28
Not very Chardonnay-like, more like a Viognier or Pinot Gris with its aromatic floral, tropical fruit, citrus, melon and spice aromas and flavors. Still, it’s very tasty, and dry as well, with a crisp spine of minerally acidity.

Villa Andretti 2009 Riesling (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Very dry, this Riesling shows tart acidity, with apricot, green apple, citrus and floral flavors, and a tug of stony minerals. It’s a severe wine, but well-structured and elegant. Fine as an apéritif sipper.

Villa Andretti 2010 Rosé (Sonoma Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Heavy and sugary sweet, with flavors like melted raspberry and strawberry jam, with the alcohol of wine. Almost like a dessert wine.

Villa Andretti 2009 Moscato (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Super-sweet in honeyed richness, but that’s not enough to rescue this wine. It’s not fruity enough. Shows herb and pineapple flavors, so that the sweetness is pretty much all you get.

Villa Andretti 2008 Dolcetto (California)
- Online Exclusive
- $33
Super-high in acids, almost sour, and tannic too, with dry flavors of bitter cherries. If this is your kind of wine, break out the rich meats, butter and cheese and enjoy.

Villa Andretti 2009 Barbera (California)
- Online Exclusive
- $33
A harsh, disagreeable wine. So high in acidity, it’s sour, and the finish is sweet and hot.
