Sun Singer News
One of the
hallmarks of the baby boomer generation is that it doesn't live like the
previous generation. It hasn't yet given up
jeans and T-shirts or beer."

and from a highly regarded winery in New Zealand. An excellent food pairing choice!

KENNEDY SHAH Merlot 2007, Rattlesnake Hills, Washington $14.99
A medium weight Merlot with raspberries, blueberries, smoky earth
and spice on the nose and palate. Bright acidity supports the fruit
through the palate and into the finish. The wine will find natural
pairings with many foods from earthy vegetarian dishes to meat
based dishes with beef or pork.
CAPANNACCE Rosso della Maremma Toscana 2005, Piedmont, Italy $14.99 Reg. $17.99
