This incredibly sophisticated wine is a perfect blend of Grenache and Syrah grapes. With a complex structure, this wine is a hidden gem and perfect with grilled meats on the barbecue, a tasty cheese tray, or exotic cuisine. Enjoy while entertaining guests for a dinner party. Personally, I love to have this wine on hand to share with my friends and guests. Reductions or Sauces Add wine and simmer – it’s that easy! Choose young, full-bodied reds for red meat dishes. Use dry white wine for fish, shellfish, poultry, pork, veal and cream sauces. The alcohol in wine begins to evaporate well short of the boiling point of water, so there’s no risk of getting ‘tipsy’ by using wine in your cooking.
