My Review: This was my first wine tasting after watching the Wine IQ videos. Out of the three wines that I have tasted, this is my favorite one so far. It was very berry but not sweet which I liked a lot. It didn't have the tart or dry taste that I'm getting accustomed to, which was nice on a warm summer night. I'm off to a good start because it was the first wine I picked out after having some knowledge of wine.
Food: I'm a big fan of steaks and anything I can cook on the grill for that matter. The night I tried this wine I was having a nice steak seasoned with salt and pepper cooked to medium rare. This wine played really well with the steak and hinted off the pepper.
