It’s hard to believe the holidays are upon us. With the recent cold front that’s blown in, November is exhibiting true form! Ralph ‘My Wine Guy’ is all set with his must-have reds featured this month at H-E-B…
The Bodegas Castaño Monastrell is a Spanish wine that pairs wonderfully with turkey. You’ll smell and taste the spice in this one. Relish the raspberry and blueberry flavors – with a really nice, silky finish. And the price point couldn’t be more agreeable at just $10!
Ralph also selected a billhook blend out of California. It’s a heavier red that’s not too tannic with a softer, smoother consistency. There’s some really nice flavors of blackberry, plum and even chocolate on the finish…you’ll really taste the dark fruit! Try pairing this guy with some lamb or any heartier holiday fare. Another great value at $20.
Forefront is a full-bodied Zinfandel that’s a nice alternative to something super dry. You’ll taste raspberry, plum…some spice notes throughout. A great wine to pair off with something from the grill. Remember: Six or more bottles of wine from H-E-B, any 6 mixed or matched, nets you a 10% discount on your total purchase.
