Not only is it Barbeque season, but hot damn! We have the perfect wine. The Rib Shack Red   2013 Blend   from South Africa screams for sizzling meat on the grill, particularly with a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce.

Recently we acquired the 2012 Alhambra Reserva. Having been a long time fan and advocate of the Alhambra Malbec, I was very eager to taste this new wine. I found it to not only live up to the high points I gave the Malbec, I believe it may have surpassed it.

This is a wonderful wine to welcome in the New Year. Although we have commented on the Baus Family Cabs before, this vintage is definitely one to celebrate. The 2012 Baus Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is absolutely a pleasure to drink.
