Red Wine
Damilano Marghe Nebbiolo 2023, Langhe, Piedmont D.O.C., Italy: Piedmont's Nebbiolo rarely hides its perfume, and this bottling opens on tart red fruit with a spiced, floral lift. Fine tannins keep things elegant rather than gripping, and the acid stays lively throughout. There's real freshness here, the kind that keeps the fruit tasting like fruit rather than jam. It suits venison burgers or a long-simmered stew beautifully. Vegetarians can reach for a bowl of hearty chilli instead. Nebbiolo food pairings: venison burgers, meaty stews and soups, vegetarian chilli. Drink: 2026 - 2029 576793 14.1% XD 750 mL $21.85 Score: 91/100. July 2026. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
Rosés
Lan Rosado 2025, Rioja D.O.C.A., Spain: Lan builds this Rioja rosado around Tempranillo, with Viura and Garnacha Blanca rounding things out. Red fruit and a floral lift dominate, with citrus keeping the profile lively rather than heavy. The wine doesn't fade partway through the glass either. Serve it well chilled to make the most of its lively character. A mixed grill straight off the barbecue is the ideal match. Rosado food pairings: mixed grill barbecue.
