Le Paradou Vin De Pays De Vaucluse 2004

This was a WineSmith pairing for the Let’s Dish Sesame Apricot Chicken with Rice. The latter was quite enjoyable; the former, not so much. The pairing was correct flavor-wise but neither of us liked the wine, which reminds one of a Chardonnay but with more sweetness.

Paul Jaboulet Aine 2003 Cotes Du Rhone Parallele 45 Rouge

Winery:Paul Jaboulet  (France)
Type:Other
Retailer:gift?
Description:The Cotes du Rhones from this hot, dry vintage offer attractive ripe fruit in a warm, generous style quite suited for earlier-than-usual drinking. Cherry red color with mauve hints, deep and intense. Intense and complex bouquet, with red fruit aromas (raspberry), uplifted by spicy notes (pepper, coriander). Fresh and lively, with a remarkable tannic structure and power. Food Match: roasts, pizza, pasta in meat sauce, grilled meats, beef.
