1917 Il Conte d’Alba Stella Rosa ROSSO, Italy
Every time I would hang out with my girlfriends, they raved about Stella Rosa. One night my girlfriend and I decided to go buy some at Bevmo, but they were all sold out. A few months later, I found Stella Rosa at Bristol Farms for $10.99. The guy that was showing me around the wine arbor claimed Stella Rose is “a wine for pussies!” Stella Rosa is described as a “refreshing red wine to be served chilled and accompanied by fresh fruit and cheese.” I drank it chilled and I was pleasantly surprised when I realized there were bubbles! The wine itself was very sweet, with fruity flavors, great for entry level wine drinkers. The alcohol content is only at 5.5%, so you may need to drink a bottle or two by yourself to have a fun night. The color of the wine is also very light compared to other reds I have tried before. Stella Rosa would be great on a nice summer evening when you are in the mood for a light, sweet red wine. So forget the Arbor Mist at the grocery store and go buy a bottle of Stella Rose, you will not be disappointed.

coasts $11. If you’re an under-10-buck Chardonnay buyer with some standards (Cupcake, Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi, Cono Sur), there’s another fine choice in supermarkets and wine shops, and you’ll most likely find it for $8. It’s a deliciously dry, crisp, oak-infused, apple and pear beauty with good acidity and flavor complexity.
The Cabernet Sauvignon is a winner, too. And if you buy it this month or next, you will be helping the less fortunate: Beringer’s Million Meals campaign will donate $1 for every purchase of the Founders’ Estate wines in November and December to support hunger charities nationwide. This is the second year for the drive, and the goal is to raise money for 2 million meals.
