re: Need a wine pairing with Vodka Pasta Sauce

If you want to stick to the Italian theme without breaking the bank you could do a Barbera d'Alba or a Vino Nobile do Montepulciano. If you want to spend more you could get a Brunello or Barbaresco or Barolo. Those three are great Italian wines and along with Amarone the top reds made in Italy. You should be able to get a good bottle of those for around $50. Barbera d'Alba will set you back about $20-$25 a bottle and Vino Nobile is in the same range.
