Blog Top SitesSelecting the right wine for your Super Bowl party can be (and perhaps should be) a Bitch. This South Aussie red from R Wines is made from 100% Grenache—the dominant variety of Southern Rhône wines such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas. Winemakers Chris Ringland and Lisa Wetherell use grapes from the Barossa Valley to produce a tasty, affordable (about $10) wine that offers hints of plum, berries, and spice. It's unoaked and, at 15.0% ABV, rather hefty. And it goes great with pizza!
It's probably wiser, however, to serve this wine at a Super Bowl party than to present it to your wife or girlfriend on Valentine's Day.
It's not all that easy to find (owing to its name, perhaps).
Nice to hear from you again, Tangled Noodle. Cheers!
