wines include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, Tempranillo

real presence and showcases sweet berry fruit with a lingering soft acid

Choosing wine for a meal used to be determined
by simple rules: red wines with red meat and white wines with fish and white
meat. Does it make sense to follow "rules" that apply to wine and
food matching? Or do we simply pick blindly from the wine list?There are "principles" to get you through the rough spots, but don’t expect them to tell you exactly what to drink with what. In addition things have loosened up a lot and most vintners and chefs agree you should drink the wines you enjoy most with the foods you like best, regardless of color.
