Well, that makes me want to say something cutesy involving Australian slang and barbecue, but I shall refrain from doing so. You’re welcome. In short, “Big Red” is a good description for this JackaRoo wine.

Food / Wine Matching - wineloverspage.com A lot of people fret about matching just the right food with the exact wine to complement it, but this tasty decision isn't really as tough as all that. It may help to keep in mind the simple reality that humans have been making wine to go with food for more than 5,000 years, and most wines go very nicely with most dishes. It's easy to go right, and hard to go wrong, as only a few combinations don't work well. Deena Kakaya Vegetarian Recipes & Cooking Somewhere along the journey, the lines between work and play, rest and recreation changed. For most of the years that my husband and I have been together, we shared energy and squinted-eyed enthusiasm for filling our pockets of free time with making memories, having fun, exploring, travelling and being spontaneous in a sensible sort of way.

Summer of Swirling: V.I.P. Table Favorites Article & Reviews by: Eric Guido It has been a summer full of fine foods, good friends and some absolutely beautiful bottles of wine.
