This writing thing can be time consuming, interfering, and fun. Having missed a few too many now, tonight I play catch up. So the first wine tonight is a wine that is yummy with ketchup covered cuisine. Since we eat a lot of this style of cuisine, you will see quite a few of these wines through the summer.
Tenuta Migliavacca is the name of the winery and the grape is Freisa. I pronounce Freisa as Muhammad Ali would pronounce Joe Frazier's name. It works. Check the tape. Anyway Freisa is another of the lesser known grapes of the great Piedmont region of northwest Italy. Freisa produces a wine that is light in color, light in flavor with some noticeable fruitiness and a bit of spritz, that slightly effervescent sensation that works well with a slight chill to the wine. So you get the chill for hot days, the red to go with ketchup, the lower alcohol to stay awake, and a nice flavor with a reasonable price. $14.99 a bottle.
Nice wine if you are in the mood for something different.
