French Rabbit
Pinot Noir Vin de Pays d’Oc (2010)

$10.00REGION: Languedoc Roussillon, France

VARIETAL/BLEND: Pinot Noir

NOTES: Black cherry, mixed berry fruit aromas, and hints of leathery earth give it a quintessential Pinot Noir profile. Overall, it’s easy-drinking and food-friendly, with loads of refreshing mouthwatering acidity. Pair with pork tenderloin or rosemary chicken.

Cinco Joses
Old Vines Garnacha (2010)

$10.00REGION: Campo de Borja, Spain

VARIETAL/BLEND: 85% Garnacha, 15% Syrah

NOTES: This wine is fruity but not overpoweringly jammy. It’s well balanced with good acidity, soft tannins and a pretty elegant structure. All of these complement the aromas and flavors of plums, blackberries and dark chocolate. Paired with tapas and chorizo.

MUSIC PAIRING: Run DMC, Angie Stone, Texas Tornados

Warm regards, The Winey Neighbor
