Wed Quick and Easy Recession Buster

 

 

 

DiBruno, Sea Smoke & 3-degrees of Separation

 

This one's a real Recession Buster!

 

Pay WHOLESALE for a case of Bright, Refreshing, Juicy and Delicious 2006 DiBruno Pinot Grigio from former Sanford winemaker Bruno D'Alfonso.  Winery price $261...Your Price-$175!

 

It's not that great of a stretch even without Kevin Bacon...

 

Bruno D'Alfonso makes the delicious 2006 "DiBruno" Pinot Grigio.   Kris Curran makes her eponymous "Curran" wines and up until last January made all vintages of the fabled Sea Smoke Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.  Kris is (recently) married to Bruno and both of their labels can be tasted at "Trio" tasting room (along with Bruno's "Badge" Pinot Noir...otherwise it'd be "Duo"...Doh!) Hence DiBruno Pinot Grigio is related to Sea Smoke via Bruno's longtime love interest and recent bride, Kris Curran.

 

If Sea Smoke had made a Pinot Grigio...?

 

In the hands of someone less talented or less committed to producing traditionally Italianate varietals, Pinot Grigio can be a bit dull and devoid of character.    This is hardly the case with Bruno D'Alfonso, as the man takes his craft extremely seriously and is committed to producing a Grigio jammed with the classic characteristics common to the most expensive and paragon examples of the old country.

 

Bruno's 2006 sports a complex nose of fresh-cut hay, lively citrus and sweet herbs.  Flavors of bright orange, grapefruit and lemon cream are framed by a hint of honeysuckle and zingy, ripe, chilled Thompson Seedless plus a pinch of vanilla.  The finish is amazing!  So crisp and refreshing yet with a serious spread of fruit flavors lingering on the tongue.

 

You Watcha you Mouth!

 

There's a famous Pinot Grigio that boasts of being one of the most ubiquitous Italian whites available on restaurant wine lists nation-wide (if you know who I mean and I think you do).  This stuff will blow that mediocre, gazillion-case production, absurdly expensive import out of the Mediterranean Zuppa.

 

The printed WHOLESALE price on the DiBruno PG is $174.00/case (which makes the Suggested Retail $261.00, no trade secret there) YOUR PRICE $175.00/Case of 12.
