(Pgh digression) Dave, I've only been to that store once, while it was still being expanded. I usually go to the Oxford Center store, downtown, or the Centre Avenue store in Shadyside, soon we will have a huge giant store by Whole Foods, East Liberty (which might not have been here when you last visited...) The Waterworks store is pretty swell, too, but when one must rely on public transportation...

I second the '04 Panarroz Jumilla The Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir isn't bad either, under $10 USD

Since you are new to Italian wine I would suggest the

2004 Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo should be between $5-$10 a bottle depending on your area

Much better then the Citra.
