The nose offers strawberries and oyster shells. More tart on the palate, it has strawberry-rhubarb with a chaser of cranberry. Oyster shells linger in the background throughout. A hint of lime lingers on the finish. Dry and very crisp, this would pair well with a lentil salad. Try this lentil

Rich, lively, and spicy, this offers a blast of flavors begging for a unique food pairing. Mocha on the nose really stands out, and not any wimpy American coffee and milk chocolate mocha, either, but espresso and dark chocolate, all with a background of cherries. Cherries take front stage on
