Flight Savor Fare

There are times when only a big jug of vino will do…like at a Halloween party where there isn’t much savoring and swirling going on. Where the main course is burgers or chili. Most would drink beer. But what if you prefer wine??

Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, authors of the column, “Tastings” in the Wall St. Journal offer 5 tasty wines in big jugs for just those times:

Concha y Toro “Frontera” Sauvignon Blanc 2008 (Chile) about $9. “This wine is a steal!”

Barefoot Cellars Pinot Grigio Nonvintage (CA) about $11.

Folonari Soave 2007 (Italy) about $12

Bolla Bardolino 2007 (Italy) about $14

Citra Montepulciano d”Abruzzo 2007 (Italy) about $10
