Considering a Gift of Wine? Think Carmenere

 It's no secret, I'm a wine girl. A few months ago I tried and loved Carmenere. It's made from a defunct Bordeaux merlot grape varietal that the Chileans bought the rights to. They vinted it as Carmenere and made it their signature wine. Carmenere is an exciting wine. Here's a buying guide if you like to bring a bottle of wine as a hostess gift. Or experiment with wine at home. Most varieties are reasonably priced, so it's a good red for a party, wedding or event. Carmenere is Good Wine and We are Unanimous on That - News - Bubblews
