A Winter Wine Pairing

By From http://kybecca.blogspot.com/ • Jan 6th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

As winter rolls into town and you pull out your comfort food cookbook, boy do we have a wine for you! Those really hearty stews, cassoulets, and roasts can handle a big wine. The Remhoogte Estate Wine 2003 from South Africa is a blend of Merlot (59%), Cabernet Sauvignon (31%) and a little Pinotage thrown in for the earthy long finish. Open this bottle while you're throwing the stew together and let it open up. Don't forget to pour a glass to keep you company while you cook!

Deep intense colour. Complex and elegant aroma of black currants with hints of cedar and cigarbox. Very rounded and full bodied wine in the Bordeaux style. Layered flavours of black currant and chocolate mocha with vanilla tones and spice. Finely textured velvet tannins and a long finish. $19.99
