elfs It's been a while since I did any wine blogging, so let me try and catch up. Last week's wine was Big House Red, from Bonny Doon Vinyards.
There is a scene in an episode of Frasier where Niles ends up in some dive of a restaurant and tries to order wine, finally falling down to simply saying, "I'll have a glass of your... red." This is that wine.
Despite all the hype of the website ("a potent blast of raspberries and licorice" my left gnard), this is simply a red dinner wine. As such go, it's quite good, but it is neither terribly complicated or parkerise. A good accompaniment to savory dinners such as steak or marinara pasta, and a good dinner wine as opposed to a party wine.
