Wine

I don't know much about labelling on wine bottles so could someone help me. I recently went to a Bellapasta and had a couple of glasses of the house red it was called Trevini Rubicone Sangiovese. I desperately want to buy some of this wine to drink at home but am having trouble sourcing it. I found a website which sold Sangiovese Rubicone Sol D'oro. How do I know which company makes this wine, I know the grape is sangiovese but other than that don't know if the rest of the label will help me.

Why don't you ring the restaurant ? They should be able to tell you where they got it from ! Good luck.

Hi ***********..Sangiovese is the grape variety as you say. Its likely the label 'Trevini Rubicone' is just for the restaurant - part of a chain that probably buys bulk production. Worth asking if they know of an outlet though if you do fancy some. Trevini do produce other wines that are in the occasional outlet online - may be a case of trawling through til you find a supplier...

The everywine site has a couple of Sangiovese to try: http://www.everywine.co.uk/bin/venda?ex=co_wizr-xapian&threshold=50&bsref=everywine&searchfld=&searchpage=&searchinvt=1&searchstry=&searchlike=1&srchopt=B%2CG&carryfields=B%2CG&itemsperpage=10&searchex=trevine+rubicone+sangiovese

Each restaurant orders their food & drink from a company called 3663. They bring it in in bulk you cannot get it from them.

And trivia time - do you know why '3663' got their name? Its really simple....

3663 (three double six three) spells 'food' on your phone keypad.

what have i won now i have answered correctly?

[nickmo]

Ta daaaaaaaaaaaaaa Winner gets Satisfaction for the correct answer -

apparently when thinking up the name for a new company serving the food industry, one of the Directors pointed out that 3663 on a 'phone pad spells 'food', so thats what they used......

And a nice virtual Pauillac is very welcome too..feel free to join in..
