This wine is fairly mature for its relative youth, being from the 2008 vintage. I think that sangiovese-based wines will always be a little more rustic in character, but that makes them charming in their drinkability and distinctively Italian.

Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar opened in mid-April. Although Las Vegas isn’t his hometown (he grew up in northern California), Fieri said in an interview when the restaurant was announced last June that it was “one of” his hometowns because of the time he spent at UNLV.
Nachos, fresh tortillas, camarones … these places have it all. Each week Neon spotlights a different cuisine in the Dining Guide, with Mexican restaurants this week.
Kellogg Co has agreed to stop using terms such as “All Natural” and “100% Natural” on some of its Kashi and Bear Naked brand product labels and to pay more than $5 million to settle a class-action consumer fraud lawsuit.
On the surface, Mozen seems like kind of an unusual name for a restaurant. Think Mandarin Oriental — that’s the MO — and zen. And, yes, commence the eye-rolling, not for the former but for the latter. Except that in the case of Mozen Bistro, the “zen” part really isn’t a conceit.
At 9:35 a.m., Gov. Brian Sandoval strolled through the glass doors at Banger Brewing next to SlotZilla at the Fremont Street Experience and swapped hearty handshakes with the five high school pals who recently launched their microbrew operations.

Chef Daniel Boulud ceremonially kicked off the eighth annual Vegas Uncork’d by Bon Appétit with a flourish by sabering a magnum bottle of Mionetto Prosecco.
A great way to discover a new product is to try it in a restaurant, but sometimes it’s only available on the wholesale level. When Donna DeFrank discovered Marzetti Simply Dressed Pomegranate Vinaigrette Dressing when it was served with a salad she got at Wendy’s, she asked where she could buy it and was told she couldn’t.
Earlier this year, I hosted a contingent of Bordeaux winemakers in Las Vegas for a big tasting of the 2011 vintage. While the 2011s have been called “difficult” and “challenging” by many critics, including myself, the vintage now bottled and in the market is very charming and drinkable early for the light-bodied reds and superb for the whites.
