wine of the week
The SOJO Shiraz is from South Africa. It is peppery, full of smoky seasoning and not too full bodied. The tannins do come in and say hello, but I wouldn't be worried about them completely drying your mouth out. The first time I put my nose in the glass, I thought I smelled bacon. All my friends know how much I love bacon. I'm like the dog in the Beggin Strips commercials. This is an affordable shiraz that you can find around 10-12 dollars. Bring it to a BBQ and people will invite you again just because of the impact this wine will have.
I paired this wine with the Spice Rubbed Pork Chops.
