The Wine War Winner Is...

Judy's lasagna was excellent - no surprise there.
The two wines were the 2007 Tolaini Al Passo and the 2008 La Spinetta Langhe Nebbiolo
This was a real tough contest because both wines were excellent and paired well with the food. We both agreed that we liked the Langhe just a little better than the Al Passo. But this was about which wine went best with the food, so, I have to give the nod to the Al Passo.
To me, nothing goes better with a red sauce than a Sangiovese based wine, in this case 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot. The Lange would have been ideal with pasta in an earthy mushroom based sauce.
