    (BOSSI Chianti Classico) Crossover Dear Friends, The term "crossover" has become one of the more widely used catch-phrases for almost anything in our society - everything from SUV's to country music have been saddled with the term and we even have cross-trainers as shoes. There are times when I wonder if we are actually crossing over into new territory or dangerously digging deeper into a world that bridges two opposites and pulls them closer to a more homogenous middle? In wine, the term usually signifies a vinous example that contains traditional and modern elements in one package - something like LÄoville Las Cases or Solaia. Tonight, a deal came over the wire that is undoubtedly going to cause Niki an early January headache - a true crossover at a price that is downright ridiculous for the vintage and the quality. Wine has been produced on the estate of Castello di Bossi for 750-900 years (depending on the document you read). It is one of the oldest acknowledged continuous wine growing estates in Italy. Known for Sangiovese with a modern flair, they delve for tradition within the modernity in their Chianti Classico and the 2006 is going to make a lot of friends in a hurry. From a great year (think 2006 Rancia, 2006 Fontalloro and a host of other successes from the Berardenga sub-region), this is an early contender for price/value star of the season. If you enjoy Chianti Classico but also don't mind a lovely glass of something like Galatrona every once in a while, this is your wine...en masse: ONE SHIPMENT ONLY at this price. This parcel has impeccable provenance directly from the source: 2006 Castello di Bossi Chianti Classico Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Italy3497
