- Hank Matty - 07-02-2000 I would like recommendation of a wine for dining on enchiladas and baked chili. - hotwine - 07-03-2000 My choices would be, in order of preference: - A Spanish Rioja, such as Marques de Caceras, Marques de Riscal or Monticillo Vina Cumbreno - A Southern Rhone, such as La Vieille Ferme If any of your guests request a beer instead of wine, suggest you offer them Dos Equis Amber. Salut! - winecollector - 07-03-2000 Sounds like a Chianti Classico to me! My recommendation would be a 97' Gabbiano. If you can't find that, a Rhone wine I've been drinking, Parallel 45' (97' or 98"), will also do just fine. Welcome aboard! - Thomas - 07-03-2000 Ever try Tavel or Rose d'Anjou with spicy food--slightly chilled as good as a beer. - winoweenie - 07-03-2000 Don`t forget to look at Zinfandel The Rabbit Ridge Sonoma, Gallo " Frei " ,Random Ridge "Old Vines",Seghsio " Sonoma ", or Storrs~ " Beauregard Ranch " are some we enjoy with our spiced-up cousine. They all have enough fruit to take the heat we apply to our Chillis` and Enchiladas`. The`re also in the 10-17 buck price range. Beer also BE GOOD. Winoweenie - winoweenie - 07-03-2000 Hank, Just noticed you`re from my part of the world. Welcome to the board. Love a couple of your restaurants in Tuscon.Especially dig the Dakota Cafe. The owners are good friends and I help them with their wine list. Winoweenie |
