This is a bold wine, and it went incredibly well with the barbeque ribs that Todd brought. I made orzo with beef, mushrooms and cheese and that paired nicely, too.
We particularly enjoyed a 2011 fruit-forward but earthy Tempranillo with its strong berry nose that carried through to the palate. But the hit of the tasting for us was a rich, bold Refosco, with its rich berry and plum tastes—a rare wine in the US that is usually grown in Italy.
