$100 Case of Wine: Best wine deals at Mazzaro’s Italian Market in St. Petersburg
May 19, 2009 at 12:00 pm by Taylor Eason
During my hunt to find the best $100 (or so) case of wine at Bay area retailers, I meandered into one of my favorite gourmet shops in Tampa Bay: Mazzaro’s Italian Market in St. Pete. There, among the drool-worthy selection of craft-made cheeses, single-grove olive oils and handmade pasta, there’s also a well-appointed wine room coddled by Jeff DiMaio. Ironically, few wine steals on his shelves hail from Italy, but from the relatively newer (or new-to-quality) wine regions Spain and Australia. I don’t really care, since there’s plenty other juice to drink. My selections for a $110 case of wine at Mazzaro’s:
3 bottles Aveleda Fonte 2006 Vino Verde, $7.99/ea
2 bottles Bodega Ateca Garnacha del Fuego, $8.99
2 bottles Calina 2007 Carmenere, $8.99
2 bottle Luzon Verde 2007 Monastrell, $8.99
2 bottles Paringa 2007 Shiraz, $9.99
1 bottle Guenoc 2006 Cabernet California, $9.99
3 whites
9 reds
Total = $107.88 (pre-tax)
