This red wine, from a fine piece of property in the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux, has a clean, dry taste, a fine bouquet, and is highly characteristic of the delicate dry wines of this region. It makes a perfect complement for steaks, chops, or pasta and should be served at room temperature.

SPAIN: Sangre de Toro (Torres) Catalonian Red Wine

The name covers a great gamut of qualities, but when it comes from a fine producer, such as this one, it will be a soft and delicate wine, refreshing to the palate, and a fine complement to a wide variety of foods. Especially good with seafood, poultry or veal. Best when quite chilled.

Portuguese Rosé wines are the largest selling wines in the world today, because the slight touch of sweet-ness that most of them contain, strikes just the right note. Rosé is an extremely versatile wine; it will match any dish or any meal. As the saying goes, "When in doubt, order a Rosé."
