Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Here’s a tidbit to share when you’re serving this crowd-pleasing red. There is some debate as to the identity of Argentina’s Bonarda grape. It may be different than the Bonarda grown in Italy. There are those who believe it is actually Charbono, another variety brought to South America by Italian immigrants. What is beyond doubt is that these wines are deliciously ripe, fruity and light. My note: A juicy, succulent red with blackberries and ripe fleshy raspberries. Supple and quaffable: undeniable and immediate appeal. Top me up! Food matches: gourmet burgers, pizza, sausages.

Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
