THE WINES
Dave's Wine
M. Chapoutier 2012 Banyuls Traditionnel
Grenache-based Ruby Port-style wine from the Southern Roussillon region in the Rhone. 8% residual sugar, fortified with brandy for a 16% ABV. Medium-intense notes of black plum, currant and cherry with supporting tones of wood spice and fudge. Tannins have mellowed considerably in this 2012 vintage, with full black-fruit flavors that linger long on the close.

Back-up Wine:
La Vielle Ferme Red 2021
GSM/Rhone style blend but Cinsault and Carignan heavy, rather than Grenache, so it's merely labeled a red wine of France. Light on its feet with plenty of fruit flavors and layers of fresh green herbs.

Dallas' Wine
Denny Bini Frizzante dell'Emilia Buzza
Made from the Spergola and Malvasia di Candia Aromatica grapes, Spergola carries historical reference as the choice bev of powerful noblewomen during the High and Late Middle Ages. Centuries later, it has captured the hearts and minds of Emilia’s bottle-fermented wine pundits and is championed by Denny Bini.

Direct press and fermented in stainless steel tanks, without temperature control. The second fermentation happens in the bottle in the spring and it takes place within 30 to 60 days and adding must from the same vintage.
