My Go-To Italian Wine - Villa Antinori Toscana Red  ($16) 

This is definitely one of my favorite (grocery-store accessible) Italian wines. It’s a stunning and well-balanced blend of cabernet, sangiovese, syrah, and petit verdot. Great to drink immediately. The subtle hits of cherry and blackberry with a slight hint of coffee makes it easy on the palate.

Happy Sipping & Streaming! 🍷 📺
