And to end with
a little bit of trivia for you:
Did you know that Grenache is
the most widely planted grape in the world? Mostly used as a
blending grape, but there is a move to promote the varietal as
a stand-alone wine. Grenache is known for its fruitiness
and body without the high tannins, so it makes a very
drinakable wine on its own.
Mourvèdre, also known
as Mataró, or Monastrell, is variety of wine grape used
to make both strong, dark red wines and rosés. It is an
international variety grown in many regions around the world.
Because of its gamey earthy flavors nature it pair well with -
you guessed it - Game!
