The 2017 Plavac Mali (Dalmatian red) from Ivan Dolac offers ripe, spicy-berry fruit wrapped in barrique-derived smoke and toast; muscular yet Mediterranean in character—pair with grilled lamb or smoky sausages.

Plavac Mali food pairings: grilled steak, roast leg of lamb, hard cheese, veal piccata.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
