Hales Shiraz 2013, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia: Black and brooding, and downright sexy Australian Shiraz. A cool February prior to harvest resulted in slow ripening and complex flavours (yay). Recall the southern hemisphere countries like Australia have their "fall" during our spring. Here's a lip-smacking, delicious Australian red wine at a great price! Loaded with aromas of black fruit and dark spice, this shiraz over-delivers and floods the senses. You order the pizza, and I'll pour the wine. So easy-drinking, this wine gets my vote. Well crafted Australia Shiraz. Finishes with liquorice and smoke.

Canonica A Cerreto Riserva Chianti Classico 2011, Tuscany D.O.C.G., Italy: The winery's names translates to small chapel in the oak woodlands, and the estate is nestled in the hills of the Chianti Classico region near the town of Siena in Tuscany. The vineyards are planted at 1250 feet above sea level. An earthy, full-bodied wine with smoky dark red fruit and good, mouth-watering acidity. Best consumed with hearty dishes involving tomato sauce. Mixed spices and black raspberry on the finish. A wine to satisfy a savage thirst (for good wine).
