An affordable red for the New Year

Priced at under $11, Bogle’s 2010 red blend is a fabulous wine to keep on hand this week as we head into the New Year. The varietals included within this well-priced bottle are Old Vine Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah, making it lush enough to pair with prime rib, tenderloin of beef, gourmet burgers, and a big pot of sumptuous beef stew. The enduring challenge is finding an affordable red that’s not too fruity and that’s tannic and sturdy enough to perform against hearty fare and this one is your man. Calandro’s on Government has had plenty on hand. Enjoy, and happy New Year!
