Wine Review: As many of you know, I really enjoy kitchen sink blended red wines. This value proposition for Foppiano is a real nice option and value wine. This dark brick red wine opens with a nice spicy fruit like bouquet. On the palate, the wine is round, juicy, with dusty black cherry flavors with hints of dark chocolate. The finish is quite dry and shows noticeable tannins. This wine is a nice barbecue burger wine and for $10 you really can’t go wrong. Enjoy - Ken
