WHAT: C’est La Vie Pinot Noir Syrah 2008 (red) Rating: NNN
WHERE: Languedoc, France
WHY: I hit the churrasco too often, but it’s hard to steer clear of that glistening, rotating, slightly overcooked chicken and the piri piri. For me, Portuguese chicken is like those favourite jeans that make too many appearances. What to do? Accessorize! This wine, with its simple, easy flavours and buoyant light texture, is like a red bandana. Use it as a belt, tie it off around the thigh or, better yet, hang it out of the back pocket like a colourful flag.
PRICE: 750 ml/$11.95
AVAILABILITY: At most liquor stores (product #166934)
