TODAY'S FEATURED WINE

As always, SavvyTaste.Com has my full description and opinion of this wine: Lewis Perdue's Rating of Enotria: Barbera: Mendocino County-California: : 2010: United States

A Mex-Ital Cinco de Mayo. This Barbera was outstanding with carne asada soft tacos with fresh salsa from Juanita Juanita.The fruit and tannins matched the grilled beef to perfection while the acidity stood up to the salsa.
