Arte Cafe in Cerritos, www.artecamellia.com , had a sit down wine tasting tonight. Same wine rep as the tasting at Delius on Tuesday. This time it was all Italian wines. Started out with plates of cheese and crackers and a trio of wines. Then onto a plate of meats and other goodies and finalized the food with a small bowl of beef stew. 9 wines, food for $25 - hard to beat that deal. A couple of the wines were really skunky on the nose because of their age but it did blow off and they turned out to be quite good. A 2001 Banfi, Brunello di Montalcino was the hit of the night for me. Next week Arte Cafe hosts their annual summer wine tasting. I do have that on my calendar. It seems in the summer the tasting get more frequent. Gives us winos something to do as we don't like sand in our wines so the beach is out.
