Upfront, I didn't drink this wine. Not a fan of dry wines. But I decided to try it in a couple of pot roasts and gravys. The price was right to take a chance on it for some recipes. It went into 2 big meals and they were delicious! It did really well in the sauces!

dryer than I like

This is a marvelous wine for the price. I have used it in cooking (never cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink), I have enjoyed it with pasta, with burgers, with barbecue, steaks, with pizza. It is inexpensive and a very flavorful everyday drinker. I usually buy it by the case when Sam's has it in stock.
