red wines to go along with this week's menu items. 

pinot noir.
cabernet sauvignon.
  • what to know about cabernet sauvignon - it is one of the world's most recognized wines. it is grown from black grapes in almost every wine-producing region in the world.
  • how it tastes - some cabs may have vegetal tastes, similar to the zest of a green pepper. others may have hints of mint and eucalyptus. 
  • we suggest that you pair cabernet sauvignon with ghost block cab with our hanger steak with beets, orange, goats cheese & fennel
merlot.
  • what to know about merlot - it is one of  the most widely planted grapes in the bordeaux wine region, and, as a result, one of the world's most widely planted grapes.
  • how it tastes - it is similar to pinot noir with notes of berries and currants. it also hints of plums, and it has medium body.
  • we suggest that you pair Paloma merlot with this week's arugula pesto & pistachio pasta
red zinfandel. 
  • what to know about red zinfandel - there is relatively little known about the origin of this grape, though DNA testing has shown that it has cousins in croatia. 
  • how it tastes - this robust red wine has flavors of raspberries, blackberries, anise, and pepper.
  • we suggest that you pair Louis Martini red zinfandel with harvest spinach salad with fall squash and shredded chicken
