Ménage à Trois ‘08

Have you heard the rule of thumb red wine goes with red meat? But what one?!?! There are so many different grapes, what one is best? If you've asked yourself this, the answer depends on many variables (most importantly your tastes). To start your search on red wine preferences try Ménage à Trois, a bottle without a grape.

This wine does a great job at combining the qualities of different grapes to create a bottle that works. Ménage a Trois has zinfandel, cabernet and merlot in this and the first thing that came to me was teh fruits of the zinfandel. Jam-like black and raspberry best describe the palate, but little tannin of the cabernet is detectable in the aftertaste. Despite these two heavier red grapes, teh merlot seems to take over teh body with a smooth texture.

I think this is a great wine for those looking to get into red wines or who don’t think they like red wine. My fiancé isn’t a fan of red wine and she enjoyed it just the same. A drink that can achieve this deserves a B (good) despite being simple in taste.
