Really, it had a complete chianti taste and aroma.  It was easy drinking without being too light, a tiny bit sweet and fruity but with a slight tanic finish.  It was easy to drink, and it complimented my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/blog\/2004\/07\/tjs_gnocchi.html\">TJ&#8217;s gnocchi a la sorrentina<\/a> perfectly.  I daresay this is a good a wine to sip by itself, or drink with pasta, stews and probably even beef.<br \/>\nUpdate: I tried the leftover wine with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/blog\/2007\/08\/burmese_beef_and_potato_curry.html\">beef and potato curry<\/a>, which was mildly spicy, and it didn&#8217;t work out too well.  The spice deprived the wine of its body, living it hollow with some bitterness around the edges.  Not a good combination.<br \/>\nI also tried it with some milk chocolate treats (I&#8217;m not a big dark chocolate eater), and it also didn&#8217;t go very well, the hollowness wasn&#8217;t as pronounced but it was still there.<br \/>\n(note, the label on the picture is from 2003 Aquilda de&#8217;Oro chianti, I couldn&#8217;t find a picture of the 2005)<br \/>\nIn any case, at $4 a bottle (I think), this is a wine I&#8217;ll buy again.  A perfect (western?) table wine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I opened this wine tonight and I have to say it tasted like &#8230; chianti.
