syrah blend
Moving Week

Apologies for not posting as of late, as my personal move has taken precedence over all else, except wine drinking. And for that I have a wines to recommend for the week:
‘Secreto‘ Syrah - Viu Manent, Chile- 2005. Holy Raisinets, Batman! I mean, if you could bottle that flavor, intensity and lusciousness, then this is it! Pairs GREAT with pan seared duck breast with a cranberry port wine reduction, dark chocolate of all sorts, and of course by itself. One small warning……make sure you filter this bad boy….it’s a bit toothy at the end. Like turkish coffee. Get my drift?
Another last note - pick up a copy of ‘Red, White and Drunk All Over‘ by Natalie MacLean! Great read for the sommelier-wannabes. I know if I could have one life, hers would be it!
