Mi Sueno translates into “My Dream” and this Cabernet is a dream. Big and bold jammy blackberry, dark cherry and supple tannins. Big in the mouth yet not overpowering. WE -92

I’ll admit it, I’m a Sushi addict. If you are too, you know it is hard to find a wine that wine actually pair well. The Weingut Christ Gruner Veltiner pairs very nicely.  This white wine is crisp and juicy with a touch of white pepper.

An excellent example of Petite Sirah. Inky black with blackberry, dark spices, dark fruit and the black pepper I enjoy so much in Petite Sirah. We paired the C. G. Di Arie Petite Sirah with a spicy green chili, the wine held up beautifully.
