Mosby was the first wine club D and I joined. D introduced them to me on our first trip to Santa Ynez and I fell in love with their Stelline di Moscato Sparkling and the Sangiovese. Unfortunately, or fortunately, however you want to look at it, D and I have moved on to greener pastures and better wine. We will still go to Mosby to stock up on Stelline every time we are up there but those beautiful quarterly bottles will no longer be delivered to our doorstep.
One of these bottles that was delivered was Mosby's Vino Rosso Di Santa Barbara which is their version of Italian table wine. They also have a white table wine as well. "Lucca" is a blend of mostly Sangiovese with some Dolcetto and tastes similar to a Chianti you would find on any Italian restaurant in Rome. It has a light oak taste, low tannin, and drinks well with about anything you could think of that a light red wine should be paired with. Think red sauce, lean steak, chicken, and pizza. I'd stay away from braised wild boar Bordelais but other than that you should be good to go and at 10.50-14$ a bottle depending on if you are a cellar club member you really can't go wrong with have a few of these bottles on hand for unexpected company.
