I used to be able to find this wine fairly regularly in the Atlanta area, but not so much anymore, which is quite disappointing. One of my favorite QPR's from the Veneto is the Brig'aldara Valpolicella. I don't think I have had anything from this producer since our tastings at last year's Vinitaly, and certainly had not had the 2005 Valpolicella here anywhere.
I am happy to say this vintage lived up to my expectations, as it was a pleasant easy-drinking red that was light on its feet but with just enough complexity to allow you to really savor it. I am very disappointed it doesn't seem to be as widely available in this area now, because for about $12 it is definitely a winner.
