Alex built a wine cellar in our basement this past fall, and we’ve started to amass quite a collection. To help fill the cellar, I joined a wine club at Perrine’s Wine Shop. Each month we get four wines from her, along with tasting notes, recipes, etc. This chardonnay from Italy was one of the first wines we’ve tried from the wine club. I haven’t ever had an Italian Chardonnay, so this was a surprising find. Very rich without the buttery-ness of California chards.
Some friends of ours brought the next wine to a dinner party we had recently. They had the wine at Cakes & Ale and loved it so much, they bought a case of it. It’s a Spanish Garnacha made with 100% Garnacha Tintorera grapes. It had a deep, rich flavor that complemented the pork chops Alex grilled.
