Farnese and Citra have both released the 2006 vintages of their inexpensive $7-and-change Sangiovese wines.

Happy Birthday Canada
The original version of the poem that became the English Oh Canada, from the government’s website: O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love thou dost in us command.
