Tommasi Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso

On Sunday my parents had Kathy and I over for dinner. My father, John was making Lasagna or as we joking call it La-John-ya. I volunteered to bring over a bottle to go with dinner. Since it was Italian, I decided to grab a bottle of Italian wine from the rack and grabbed a bottle of Tommasi Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso. The first time I tried this wine was at wine club -

At Wine Club we tried it against a wonderful Amarone that was about 3x its price and against the Amarone it wasn’t very noticeable.

This wine surprised me with how good it was with dinner. Dad made a side Caesar to go with the Lasagna. I expected the wine to be a decent match with the Lasagna but was impressed by how well it went with the Caesar too! I will be grabbing a couple more bottles of this wine as it is a good value for money.

Cheers!
