Argentina Red Wine Grape “Bonarda” + a Spicy Chorizo

Most consumers know that Argentina produces Malbec -based red wines, but the red grape known as Bonarda is also widely planted in Argentina’s Mendoza Region. Similar to the history of Malbec, Bonarda originated in France (under the now extinct varietal Douce). Rich in blue fruits, Bonarda is a perfect pairing for spicy chorizo #winepodcast #redwine #bonarda #mendozaargentina #chorizo

Australian Wine ‘Shiraz’ Paired with a Creamy Australian Cheddar

David Kohl loves to pair wines with cheese and today finds that a creamy Australian Cheddar brings out the best qualities of the ruggedly fruity Australian Shiraz grown in The Clare Valley with maritime proximity to the southern coastline. Many consumers may not realize that ‘Shiraz’ is actually the French grape Syrah brought to Australia in the 1800s by James Busby who is known as The Father of Australia’s Wine Industry. Shiraz is historically city in Iran but James Busby found that the exotic connection was a favored label for the transported grape varietal. #shiraz #australianwine #winepodcast #wineandcheese #jamesbusby #clarevalley
