The Tryst with Italy

One of the best wines I’ve ever had is the - Scarpetta Frico Rosso Tuscany, ITA. This is one the best red wines as it is full of amazing flavours of berry, and is very smooth. 

The best thing about great red wines is that it has to be paired with great food. When I had this wine I tried to pair it with some amazing sushi. Sushi - with wine is a fantastic combination. 

Below is a glass - if you ever have a piece of steak, then this wine is a must as well. 

Tasting Notes - Cherry, Blueberry

Paired with - Sushi, Steak

Vistamar Cabernet Sauvignon

From Central Valley, Chile, comes a great cabernet called "Vistamar." I had Vistamar on my way from New York to North Carolina. I sat on the plane and thought I would have wine.

"I'll give it to you when I get my bag out of the top cabin at the end of the flight. Is that ok?" Dave gave me the Vistamar and I tried it out.
