This week’s column

[amuse-bouche] The quick premise of this week’s column, because the rest is set up in the piece (and the piece is largely devoted to tasting notes), was to find wines that go well with grilled stuff that aren’t in the usual Cab-merlot realm. After all, the Bordelaise adore open flames, so it’s no shock that Bordeaux varietals match meat so well. Plus, if I can convert one Cab drinker over to barbera, then it’s all worthwhile.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

Thanks to Andy over at Spittoon.Biz I've been forced to hunt down something I've never tried before, a varietal known as Blauer Zweigelt.
