DRY WHITE: 2008 Ruffino; Orvieto Classico DOC (Italy) RM51
mmmmmmmmmmm, a white whine. mmmmmmmmmmm, not much more. Tad bitter ending

DRY WHITE: 2007 Ruffino; Borgo Conventi Pinot Grigio DOC Isonzo del Fruili (Italy) RM75
oaked pinot grigio (trying to make a chardonnay?). Tad bubble-gummy aromatic notes. Lacks "crispicity" that makes apinot grigio a pinot grigio

2004 Ruffino; Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva Ducale Oro (Tuscany, Italy) RM137
Perfumed on nose, juicy and pleasant on palate

2004 Ruffino; Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Lodola Nuova Riserva (Tuscany, Italy) RM149
Structured and balanced with a hint of spice. Rich yet elegant. Good, GOOD length. My kinda wine at this price.
