SF Wine and Drinks Examiner Liza's Italian Wine Examiner Column
I am bilingual, bi-cultural and passionate about almost everything Italian and have been since I lived, went to school and worked in Florence and Rome many years ago. As an honorary Italian who never managed to get a passport or the nice Italian last name, I invite you to join me on my exploration of Italian wine and related treats.

There are few estates that offer really great value for a wine tasting experience. Signorello Vineyards, which launched its Enoteca program a couple of months ago, is one of them. The food pairings are prepared by local chef Rodger Babel and are delicious and sufficient to make a lunch or dinner of. And at $65 a person it’s a steal for the quantity and quality of food and wine. I have spent that on a salad and a bottle of wine for two in Napa! The one long table in the Enoteca room can accommodate up to 12 people and has beautiful views.
Seek out wineries that go above and beyond the norm to provide a great tasting experience and you will enjoy the experience even more. Darioush winery, also on the Silverado Trail, also has one.
