Tonight we tasted Vino Bianco's Fratelli Bellini from Rufina Italy. It was a 10.99 white wine in a SHARK BOTTLE! Yes, I Erin Swartzwelder picked this wine. It's a shark bottle. Do I really need to explain my choice? The entire Smeal clan was together for this one: Sherry, Brit, Robin, Jim, and most of the children and spouses attended as well. :) None of us paired the wine with anything since we didn't end up tasting until 9:15ish.
Appearance: The wine had legs, tiny bubbles, and was a ginger ale color.
Nose: We smelled citrus, honeysuckle, and it smelled DRY. Robin pointed out that since it is 12% alcohol it will probably taste dry as well. (GEE thanks).
Taste: We agreed that it was a light tasting wine. It is citrus-y and it tastes just like it smells. DRY

I must say that the coolness of the shark bottle MAY have influenced my rating.....
