Calling all wine fans! Grab a glass and get ready to pick up these recommendations at your local H-E-B. In this weekend’s NEW episode, we share three must-try bottles that’ll pair perfectly with your dinner tonight.
The Alpha Omega Chardonnay from Napa Valley is your soon-to-be new favorite. Michel Rolland, one of the winemakers behind Alpha Omega, is a notable rock star of the wine industry, and his bottles always receive rave reviews from critics. This buttery chardonnay is lovely and will pair perfectly with chicken, veal and heartier fish like salmon and tuna. $22
If you’re firing up the grill this weekend, I’ve got a couple of fantastic wines here that will pair with anything cooked over a fire. The Bodegas Ondarre Rioja Reserva from Spain tastes of black cherries, spices and vanilla. It is well balanced and destined to go with a charred steak or barbeque chicken. Let the bottle breath for about 30 minutes before drinking, and you will be amazed. $18
Next, is an unusual bottle: Cooper & Thief Red Blend. The blend is a mix of merlot, syrah and zinfandel grapes, so it’s a big, jammy red with a lot of dark fruit. Plus, the wine is aged in bourbon barrels, so you’re going to get some luscious vanilla undertones. Pair with something smoky like ribs, or a gooey mac-and-cheese made with a funky aged cheddar ($22).
As always, you can find these bottles and more at your local H-E-B. Bonus: When you buy six or more wines, you’ll get 10% off your whole wine purchase!
