Steak, Pasta, Beef Stew
Plum, Currant, Jam
Another lush and juicy wine at a great price point. Chile tends to produce wines with really nice fruit flavours and the perfect level of sweetness. There is a really nice earthy thing happening on the finish that probably from the Carmenere. I’d buy it again and would gift this wine.

Sour Cherry, Red Plum, Violet
Tapas
Medium-light body with a dry finish and medium tannins that hit the middle of your tongue (not so much on the gums).
Today I learned that Rioja style is to Spain what Bordeaux style is to France. Tempranillo being the main grape.
Black Cherry, Tobacco, Oak
Lasagna, Pasta with Red Sauce, Roasted Vegetables
The house red lives. I’ve been recommending this wine for 5 years now and will continue to do so. This is the bottle that I always keep stock of because not only is it an amazing wine for $8.95 but it’s a crowd pleaser that’s very versatile. Used to be called Farnese instead of Fantini.
If you liked this one, you’ll love my similar top value Italian Red.

Lamb, Roasted Chicken, Shawarma
The first word that popped in to my head when I tasted this wine was “inoffensive”. It’s a Goldilocks wine. Not too sweet, not too dry, not too anything. This is in no way an insult. A great pick when you don’t know what your guests like or what to pair with dinner. The name is likely a play on the French Côtes du Rône – cute.
