I wine in shining armour
If we picked a wine the same way we chose a life mate, would we be happier? We asked Winnipeg ' s wine experts to search out wines that match the characteristics of their ideal mate.
Carol Herntier from Manitoba Liquor Marts says her knight in shining armour possesses boldness, intensity and complexity. Brazin Old Vine Zinfandel($ 20.98) is her wine of choice, with bold aromas of spice and mocha, intense flavours of plum and chocolate, and a long lingering finish that ' s shamelessly irresistible. The folks at Winehouse seek someone with a sparkling smile and bubbly personality. They like a partner that blushes when you tell them how wonderful she is. For these reasons, they love the Louis Bouillot Cremant De ciao! news
Bourgogne Rose($ 24.99). Tracy McCourt of Banville & Jones offers two picks: DFJ Vinhos 2011 Red Vega Duoro($ 12.99) and Grey Wolf Vineyards and Cellars 2011 Zinful Cab Paso Robles($ 29.99). The former may seem on the dry side at first, but don’ t let that fool you. This wine is wonderfully dusty and earthy, and the more you get to know it the more you’ ll notice its wonderful fruit character. The latter is the rich, strong, mysterious type. The kind that ' s great company on a cold winter night, and the perfect companion for a hearty meal.
