A chance to try some Sicilian wines off the beaten track

Berry Brothers has what looks like a well researched and reasonably priced (though not particularly cheap) offer on Sicilian wines at the moment.

Having spent some time there myself indulging, I can attest to the quality and originality of Sicily's wines.

The Berry Brothers blog tour with lots of detail, which is well written and researched, starts here.

I went with these to try a cross section. I'll report back in with tasting notes in due course.
