He works hard to find awesome deals from Europe and does an outstanding job. Not too long ago one of his wines landed as a pick of the month. I went crazy for that wine and still have a few bottles at the store. Once again, Keith has rooted out a fantastic value, this time from Italy (the prior pick was from Spain). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" scale=\"0\" class=\"wp-image-2777\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"http:\/\/stanthewineman.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0301.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/stanthewineman.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0301.jpg 605w, http:\/\/stanthewineman.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_0301-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>  2017 Torre Zambra Montepulciano d&#8217;Abruzzo (Abruzzo, Italy)&#8230; $12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plums and red flowers on the nose with a touch of earth and funk. Plum and blackberry notes dominate the palate with a solid backbone of red flowers and balanced acidity. Tobacco notes join up on the mid-palate into the pleasing, long finish. The tannins are structured and soft. This is a balanced, complex wine and over delivers for the money. Light and powerful at the same time. (B+)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stan The Wine Man<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keith, owner of Elevens Imports has a great palate and tons of energy!
