The Sunday Morning Sommelier: Lakeridge Southern Red
Jun 6th, 2010
Name: Lakeridge Southern Red
Alcohol content: 11%
Price: $9.99
Description per label: Garnet hued, this light bodied red derives its unique fruity flavor from the Noble grape. Slightly sweet for dinner, dessert, or just relaxing.
Review: This is not your typical red wine drinker’s red. If you like a sugar sweet red wine that makes a better sangria base than a stand-alone libation, this is right up your alley. In my humble but expert opinion this varietal (along with club soda) is the secret ingredient to the original Bartles and Jaymes epic wine cooler. This is a wine I wish I found when I was sixteen instead of stumbling upon it with my sophisticated palette. My suggested pairings would be mid-day hangovers, mom’s meatloaf and monkey brains.
