This is a Montepulciano D'Abruzzo. Modest in price, under $15, and available at Shawn Liquors on 7th Avenue where Andrew, The sommelier in residence (with the coke-bottle eye glasses and the Jerry Lewis voice) has rarely steered me wrong. It went beautifully with the rib steak at its side. I ate the whole steak myself with two glasses of the wine. The perfect antidote to Halloween's sickly-sweetness.
