Cooler weather signals a deep need in the wine drinker’s heart for a fuller bodied wine. The brisk temps mean heartier dishes that pair perfectly with red wine. Over the years, we have added some red wines aimed at making everyone happy. Over the next few month’s we’ll highlight some of these great wines. Bacioni– Bacioni means Big Kiss in Italian. Not only is it super versatile, it’s a blend of some of my favorite grapes. So what’s in it you ask? First, it starts with the “unofficial grape of Maryland,” Chambourcin.
