Pick of the Week:

Niro Montepulciano D'abruzzo, Italy

Bonus - Rod's fancy Christmas gift ideas: 

Armagnac, a style of brandy from a certain region in France that's growing in popularity but so far is reasonably priced compared to its better-known cousin Cognac. 

Domaine Drouhin Dundee Hills Pinot Noir, Oregon USA. A little pricey, but if you're spending on a gift Rod recommends.
