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 .
