Let's get it going

Here are some of the recent values I've found in today's market (I am talking Manhattan and surrounding boroughs, but these wines should be available almost everywhere hopefully at comparable price points):

2007 Orvieto Classico (Ruffino)- more finessed and refined than in previous years, and made by a large and reputable house, this pale gold wine offers pear and honeysuckle nose and palate tones with good balance and body. So for $8 this will impress... but now , my source has gone to $10?... because it is now the 2008 vintage- still similar quality and characteristics.
