Here’s what Monique Soltani covered on this week’s wine radio show, Wine Oh TV on Radioslot.com. We take a tour of Tuscany and uncover the wines of Chianti Classico. Then we try a new summertime wine from a family who’s been making wine in the Napa Valley for over 30 years. After that, it’s time to bag the box wine, Literally! We have found the perfect purse even the man in your life won’t might dragging around. Move over box wine wine, we are popping the top on wine purses! Then we head for the border and find out when it comes to wine tasting B.C is the place to be!

On every radio show we like to taste at least one wine. Here’s the wine we tasted this week: Isabel Mondavi Pinot Noir 2009 $34.99: Lovely balanced flavors of earth, violets and soft cherry.
