Last night I had one of the best fifteen dollar bottles of wine EVER. It's a red wine called Ripasso from the winemaker Solane Santi in the Valpolicella province of Italy. If you've ever had Amarone you'll appreciate this wine. It's a much less expensive and lighter wine that is actually made from the unpressed skins and yeast left over from making Amarone. Amarone is made from dried grapes and has a really deep and complex flavor but typically costs in the $80 - $120 range. Trust me on this one. This wine is worth the fifteen bucks, and then some.
