5 O'clock Somewhere Italian Red
Two easy drinking reds we keep on the Commack shelf.
The story behind 5 O'clock Somewhere
Montepulciano is a workhorse red grape from central Italy, and the style is built for the table: dark cherry, a little dried herb, soft tannin and bright acid that cuts through tomato sauce and roasted meat. It is the kind of bottle that opens up fast and does not ask for a decant.
We stock 5 O'clock Somewhere here in Commack in small quantity, one to two bottles at a time, so what you see is what is on the shelf. Call ahead and we will confirm what is in stock before you drive over.
