31by Joe Colosi Sauvignon Blanc, one of the world’s most well known white wine grape varietals, is often drank within under four or five years. It tends to provide a tasty accompaniment to chicken and seafood dishes. Hunter provided a unique example from Touraine and, as usual, we drank and ate cheese until doing so [...]

13by Hunter Fike Sangiovese is one of the most commonly consumed wines in the world, and yet it is also one of the most under-appreciated. As the principal grape of Chianti, it is often associated with mass-produced table wine that comes in a jug and is hung above the bar in a wicker basket. However, [...]

03by Joe Colosi Sometimes drinking wine for two hours after work is a real drag. But we managed to have a good time when our friends Jim and Kristina Burke stopped by with two bottles of red wine. Both of this week’s pairings are available at the restaurant James, located on 8th st. between Christian [...]

23by Joe Colosi The warmer seasons are fast upon us, and a chilled white wine in the sunlight is just the thing to make the most of the weather. Chardonnay fits the bill, especially with an accompanying cheese. As usual, Hunter and I sampled two bottles, one Chardonnay from California, the other from Burgundy, in [...]

Valpolicella and Montepulciano can be found cheap and often deliver better than expected flavors. We enjoyed a bottle of each and came up with both obvious and unconventional pairings. Masi 06 Valpolicella Bonacosta: [...]

27by Joseph Colosi There’s no telling what can happen when we at Di Bruno’s feel thirsty after a hard day’s work. After one of those days, a few friends and coworkers from the ninth street location enjoyed two tasty white wines with intent to find the perfect pairing. In an effort to broadly address the [...]

06By Joseph Colosi Most people like a good pinot noir because it is tasty, drinkable, and it enhances dinner (especially lamb and roasted vegetables). The right cheese will elevate the wine itself, just like pulling air through the wine in your mouth and sloshing it around will (Seriously, try it. It’s fun too.). Different cheeses [...]

23One of the things that I love about working at Di Bruno Bros. is that I am constantly rediscovering products. I manage the “Non-Perishables” department and I am responsible for purchasing well over 1,700 items; this includes all of our oils and vinegars, plus our dried pastas, sauces, condiments and chocolates. While I can tell [...]

31For me, winter is the season to nestle into my comfiest chair, imagine there is a fireplace in my living room, and attempt to finish a Dostoyevsky novel. Ideally, a serving of cheese and libation to match are on the end table. Regrettably, the probability of actually experiencing winter this year is about as bleak [...]
