Now here’s an Italian red wine that really knows how to stand up for itself.  It’s a blend of 50% Whoop-Ass and 50% Take-Numbers. When Chuck Norris went to Italy as a baby, this what was in his sippy cup.

Nerelo Del Bastardo.  Yep, I think you know what this goes well with.  Big food.  That giant hunk o’ vaca you’ve been marinating all day, cooked slow on the grill.  Ya baby, this is where it’s at.

Trader Joe’s, $8.99.  The wine guy pointed me at another bottle by these same guys he says is event meater.  Yum, can’t wait.
