That's right, I have a red for you this week! I know it doesn't happen very often. But watch out, because I'm on a roll - I have another one for you next week. K and I picked up this one while we were taking advantage of Fry's wine sale - buy six bottles, get 30% off, in addition to sale prices! This means that I got this bottle of wine that is regularly sold at $10.99 for only $5.59. That is crazy talk! In case you didn't know, Fry's is owned by Kroger, so it is a sister store, sort of, to our beloved Fred Meyer. Well, more like step-sister store. But we take what we can get. If you have a Kroger affiliate where you live, you can probably take advantage of a similar sale.
We bought this wine because we knew we had some grilled steaks in our future. And we pretty much only drink red wine when we are eating steak. It turns out that this wine might not have been the top choice to go with steak, although it was pretty great. It was a very smooth wine, soft and mellow. Not at all what I am used to with Pinot Noirs. I actually said this when I first tasted it - "It's like drinking a fuzzy blanket!" and it was. In a good way. I would recommend this wine if you want a nice, drinkable Pinot Noir.
