Dolcetto means "little sweet one" and it refers to the smallish, early ripening red grape that the folks of Piedmont in northern Italy planted to satisfy the birds so they would move on before the prized Nebbiolo grapes for Barolo ripened. It is not widely grown in California. This particular bottling from winemaker Rob Lawson is a delicious, deeply-flavored, dark-colored red wine with lots of facets of flavor. The nose is full of bright cherry and plum aromas, while in the mouth there are pronounced flavors of ripe raspberries. The wine is lush without being overly extracted and shows excellent balance throughout the long finish. Bravo to Rob Lawson for producing a bargain of a tasty Italianesque wine. Plus, as a bonus, it is made of organically grown grapes. - Jeff Prather

This blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Counoise from Redortier reflects the charm of the twin sisters that run the property. It is ripe, round, and smooth with lovely blackberry flavors and a hint of peppery spice on the long finish. This wine is nicely structured with fine tannins that support the fruit but don't intrude on the flavors. This is a delicious value from the Rhone. - Jeff Prather

If you are a fan of Santa Barbara Pinot Noir or saw the hit movie, 'Sideways,' you will know the name Hitching Post. It was their legendary Highliner Pinot Noir that was one of the major wine stars of that quirky movie. Hometown is Hitching Post's early bottling of Santa Barbara Pinot Noir that showcases the delicious fruit of young Pinot, and the balance and seduction of the vintage. It is a delicious blend of grapes sourced from vineyards near Los Alamos, Santa Maria, and Santa Rita Hills. - Jeff Prather

Now, for a little wine geek Zinfandel trivia: It was once thought that the Italian vine Primitivo was the parent material of Zinfandel, but eventually Carole Meredith, from University of California at Davis, found the true ancestor: a grape native to Croatia. So Primitivo had to suck it up and stand on its own once again. Primitivo grown on the Salento peninsula, part of the "heel of the boot" that is Puglia, often displays rich fruit, and an earthiness that suggests sun-warmed vines and dry, dusty soils. It is a very evocative quality, and while difficult to put into words, is one of our favorite aspects of southern Italian reds. This one exhibits a very ripe character with a spicy sweet raspberry note showing a touch of white pepper on the long, lightly earthy finish. - Jeff Prather
