WOW


Beep came home from the Capital Grille with an incredible new wine find!! Since his first sip of this highly unusual crimson libation, we were hooked. A sparkling Shiraz??? I thought he had gone mad! A chilled, bubbly, red? I never would have imagined liking this wine.
The Chook, sparkling shiraz is a not at all sweet, wonderfully fizzy blend of red berries with a hint of licorice and pepper. This wine is a MUST try and the beautiful label as well as the price makes it a great gift.
We find it at Central Market, under $20. I have also found it on line listed at $15.99. This wine pairs perfectly with lamb.
