The L.A. Times' "Wine of the Week" is the 2009 Francesco Rinaldi Dolcetto D'Alba 'Roussot.' The first place named where you can find it? Venice Beach Wines. Stop by and pick up a bottle for this weekend. "Ruby red and fruity, with a bright acidity, the 2009 Dolcetto has a subtle elegance that makes it ideal summer drinking," the Times said.
