It is a Pazzo Party!
I recently celebrated a birthday. Mrs. Barbarian arranged a dinner at a local steak place, a chain who sends you a coupon for a free dinner on your birthday. (Have I ever mentioned how frugal Mrs. Barbarian is?) I choose a filet, which they smother in bleu cheese and garlic, along with a twice-baked potato. Mrs. Barbarian selects a New York Strip. Looking for something powerful on the meager wine list I select this Napa blend called “Pazzo.”
It not only stands up to the big food, it is truly wonderful. It is a bit pricey, but as it is from Napa, perhaps it is a bargain at around $30 retail.

How fun for me to see your blog about our wine, Pazzo. Yes, as you mentioned, this is all Napa Valley fruit, but I thought I should tell you more. Pazzo is a proprietary blend created by Claus Janzen. The wine is predominated by Sangiovese and although the blend is not a set formula you will always find the Sangiovese to be partnered with Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Sirah, occasionally a bit of Merlot, and a touch of Viognier. We do believe it is a fantastic wine for the price and are happy to know that you found it on your birthday, the production is not huge at 4000 cases a year, but large enough that we have a strong domestic and international following.
In what city/restaurant were you dining? For any of your friends who are interested you can learn more about the wine at http://www.baciodivino.com, and if you like Pazzo you will adore our flagship blend.

Thanks for commenting!
Sorry I didn’t respond sooner, I’ve been having problems with my email and did not get a notification that you had posted.
Thanks too for the details concerning the blend. By the way I liked it so much I ordered it again at another dinner a week or so later.
