- to accompany this month's red wine. Pecorino Toscana Senese Produced by Ciresa of Italy. Pecorino is the generic name given to all sheep's milk cheeses made in Italy. The word which follows "Pecorino" indicates the region in which the cheese is made. In this case "Toscana" or Tuscany. This is a young Pecorino (aged 60 days) with a milder flavor and a semi-soft, cream-colored interior, very similar to a fresh Asiago. Note: Be sure to buy your cheese from the "fresh cheese" counter, and have it cut fresh in the store. Also avoid buying more than you need for a couple of days, since the freshness deteriorates after long term storage in the fridge.

Maybe it's because I'm a light, often uncomplicated, happy go lucky kinda guy, but I'm drawn to the type of red wines which offer my own traits and characteristics. An outwardly easy going temperament, but hidden below a complex symphony of carefully structured design. Chateau de Domazin, if human, would be my twin brother from whom I would have been separated at birth. I have the English accent and this wine most definitely speaks fluent French. My "twin brother" lives in the Cotes du Rhone in the gorgeous south of France, and occupies a 14th century Chateau near Avignon. It comes from a family of vines which are raised on 75 acres. But the "twin brother" applies to the final product. Within the bottle is an entire coterie of kith and kin grapes, which thrive in the region: Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault, and Mourvedre. A family which works and plays together in supreme harmony. The "family" is pleasantly enjoyed in a glass of this most enjoyable drink. A bright |
ruby color, with a blend of tobacco, spice and peppery perfume from the predominant Syrah grape. The taste is full, smooth and generously fruity with the merest hint of thyme. And somewhere in all those delicious sensory nuances, you might discover the merest hint of Silverstone - and I would indeed be flattered to be included in such genial - and affordable - company. Cheers! Region Cotes du Rhone, France Grapes Syrah (40%), Grenache (35%), Carignan (10%), Price in USA $7.99 (approx) |
