Wow, we're only about an hour from ringing in 2010. I have tasted a lot of interesting wines this year, and my last one for 2009 was the 2008 Paringa Sparkling Shiraz. I am a fan of Australian shiraz but I had never tried the bubbly version.This one had a pleasing tartness and pretty mellow tannins for such a young red, but it didn't seem to hold its effervescence for long. At $11.99, a great deal for any decent sparkling wine in my book, it was an amiable match with tonight's dinner of homemade caramelized onion pizza with parmigiano reggiano.
Here's to a new year of adventures and delicious wine!
