  I think the taxes are about the same here.I've never flown with that much wine, the excess baggage rates back from the UK are just too scary ... and driving isn't an option. I've joked in the past that you could drive to New Zealand if you made sure to keep your windows wound up for the bits where you were driving along the seabed but, uh, no ..... Read More

  For us the main problem is tax as well. I'll start paying closer attention, but I would guess that we tend to pay anywhere from 15% to 40% more than our southern neighbours pay for the same bottles. The worst thing, by far, is the limited selection in our stores.  Because of this, I routinely take back well over my limit. Even when I pay the ext... Read More

  No -- don't worry, it was just a joke on my part. Four years is a long time on the internet, but not in real life.I've brought wine back with me from France and the UK -- again, generally wines I can't buy in Australia -- but it's a bit harder than getting them back from the US to Canada. I'm limited to what I can fit in checked baggage, for one... Read More

  Pardon me, I'm just learning to use the internets.I'd venture to bet we share a common plight. Canada and taxes on alcohol go hand in hand. It has been painful to fork out the dough for those wines here. But I get to periodically go down across the border and bring back cases of wine from the US. In my defense, the wines I bring back aren't avai... Read More

  Only been four years -- not too long? I'll look out for the Fonterutoli though -- thanks.Tax on wine is fairly high in Australia, so it's often much more expensive than it is in the US (or France). I don't know how prices compare with Canada, though.I missed out on a Brunello & Barolo tasting earlier in the week, which was annoying. Both these w... Read More

  I've found  that Chianti has consistently proven to be one of the most versatile wines for pairing with foods. But there seem to be a lot of different types of Sangiovese wines, and I'm really just starting to explore the differences.So far, the best value I've found for a Chianti has been Fonterutoli Chianti Classico. It is available here in ca... Read More

  Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2009

  Snoothrank:

  The nose was classic Monsanto Chianti, showing ripe strawberry, with hints of plum, barnyard, animal musk and a whiff chalky mineral. On the palate, it was silky with great balanced acidity lending juicy tones as concentrated red fruits and dried spices seduced the senses. The finish showed hints of refined tannin with tart fruit lingering thr... Read More

  We loved the Chianti served at Il Latini restaurant in Florence. We tood a picture of the bottle, but failed to capture the year. On the label is "Il Latini Tuscano Russo". Can anybody identify where to purchase (even if I have to order from the restaurant!) We loved it!

  Coltibuono 2006 Chianti Classico: Delicious, perfectly balanced, soft tannins, gobs of taught fruit. Perfect with past or meat. A terrific Chianti! M. Miller
