Red Wine

Claymore Dark Side of the Moon Shiraz 2022, Clare Valley, South Australia, Australia: Inky crimson in the glass, this Claymore Dark Side Of The Moon Shiraz unfolds dark-chocolate and blackberry compote, underscored by clove, bay-leaf and licorice notes; supple tannins and bright acid propel a long, savory finish. A great partner to grilled ribeye or spicy sausage pizza. Shiraz food pairings: grilled New York striploin steak, roast leg of lamb, veal medallions in a rich wild mushroom sauce.

Other Wines/Drinks

Quinta do Crasto Vintage Port 2018, Douro D.O.P., Portugal: This powerful port from Quinta do Crasto explodes with blueberry and açaí compote then drifts into fruitcake and black-licorice spice; a buried graphite spine and ripe tannins promise long ageing. Pour with some aged hard cheeses or alongside some chocolate after dinner. Vintage Port food pairings: Fruits, nuts, soft cheese and chocolate..
