A Good Glass of Wine March 2006

So, what will the weather be like this March—in like a lion and out like a lamb, or vice-versa? Shall we light up the fireplace or fire up the grill? It’s hard to say, and that’s why I suggest laying in a supply of Syrah and red Zinfandel. Whether it's a hearty slow-cooked stew or a grilled dinner, Syrah and Zinfandel will fill the bill. With both on hand, you’ll be well prepared for March’s age-old unpredictability.

Que Syrah, Shiraz
Full-bodied, deep-colored Syrah (a.k.a. Shiraz) won’t ever let you down with its dark berry and plum flavors and toasty, spicy notes.

• Talus Collection Lodi Shiraz ($7.99)
• Covey Run Columbia Valley Syrah ($8.99)
• McWilliam’s Hanwood Estate Shiraz ($12)
