so many times when i read these articles on wine and wine bargins the Barbara is never mentioned. This red wine is a deep but very mellow wine with soft overtones of berry and spice. One of the best Barbara's i have tried recently was " Carta d"Imbarco" at 10.99 an awesome bargin for a fine wine. Take some time to explore this overlooked "GEM" . Who knows, you may find a new friend for dinner .
