Ca del Baio Barbera d'Alba Paolina 09

It always makes sense to have a Barbera in the house - such a versatile wine. The Paolina, from one of my favorite Barbaresco producers, has all the charm of the warm 2009 vintage balanced by food-friendly acidity. You can pair this with just about anything, from roasted chicken to pizza, and it makes a great party wine too.
