Taste of Sicily!
Cost
$0.00… yup, it’s FREE to taste! We’re cool like that.
A few months back Chuck & Nick from Vini Buoni Imports popped in the shop unannounced with a bagful of wine. We welcome guys like that with open arms… and it’s even more of a bonus when they’re as cool. Not that we really needed more Sicilian wine on our racks, we all just wanted a little end of day wine buzz.
After tasting 16 selections – and yes, we did use a spit bucket! – the FranksWine Crew unanimously fell in love with these five selections, and we know you will, too! Chuck will be here for the entire lineup paired with a Selection of Cheeses and Charcuterie from our DiBruno Brothers section – join us!

Cassara 2022 Grillo
Drinks like a Sauvignon Blanc – racy and citrusy with grippy minerality. And it’s organic!
Solcanto 2022 Catarratto
If you like unoaked Chardonnay, this one’s for you – think Macon Villages from Burgundy but a little weightier on the palate.
Jacaranda 2022 Sauvignon Blanc
This one was the favorite of the entire 16-bottle lineup! Usually you don’t think Sauvignon Blanc when it comes to Italy, but this one is world class – richly textured with tropical notes of guava and pineapple, perfectly balanced.
Cassara 2021 Perricone
This is an old world indigenous red grape from Sicily that I would compare mostly to a Grenache. Cracked black pepper notes with lots of forward red fruit and touch of earthiness.
Solcanto 2022 Nero d’Avola
This is Sicily’s red Zinfandel – fruit forward with jammy raspberry and black plum with a touch of cinnamon. Plush and crushable!
