Wine of the day, Grenache



 


                                           Pairs great with Chicken & Pork


Grenache is the world's most widely planted grape used to make red wine, sometimes made into a stand-alone varietal, frequently as a rosé, but most often as a backbone of red blends.
 
Used as a component in some Northern Rhône reds, nearly exclusively for Rhône rosés and as the primary component in nearly all Southern Rhône red blends, Grenache is probably most notable as the base varietal for Chateauneuf du Pape, Cotes du Rhône and Gigondas. In spite of its fame coming from French wines, Spain is most likely this grape's origin.
 
You can get one for around $10.00 but I'm recommend spending around $25.00 and enjoy the true flavor.
 
Remember, always drink good wine and never drink alone.
 
The Spaniard
