We start the show with half bottles – wines that come in a 375ml format. It means you get half as much but at half the price. So, maybe a way to try an expensive wine without breaking the bank (as long as you don’t mind having less wine)?

Half bottles make up the “Picks of the Week:”

•Red – Masi Campofiorin, a red blend from Italy, in the 375ml bottle.

•White – Kenall-Jackson Chardonnay, from California, in the 375ml

In this episode, we also discuss the Pedra Cancela “Dao” from Portugal (excellent), and the Cono Sur Bicicleta Viognier from Chile (mixed feelings).
