The Brussel’s Bar located on the main street in Fontainbleau, 47 Rue Grande, is a perfect place for an afternoon snack and a beer.
The prices are seasonable, the food is good and it is the perfect way to take a moment to enjoy another day in France.
Going to a party and can’t decide how much to spend and not buy some junk wine that was a waste of money and made you the indirect voice of ridicule as the tasters made their statements regarding your choice? Well there is another wine to add to the list. Reasonably priced, decent tasting. The Ravenwood line is alright.
This family of fine wine is named after the matriarch who came from Italy, Elena Napoli.
Bodega ELENA de Mendoza Argentina
2010 RED BLEND
62% Malbec 21% Syrah 17% Bonarda
This family has developed some of my top wines from Argentina. The Malbec and
the Red Blend from Bodega Elena de Mendoza are my favorites.
According to wikipedia, the “legs” or “tears” of wine that run down the inside of
the wine glass are a sign of low alcohol. The heavier the legs, the lower the alcoholic
content of the wine. If this is in fact true, then these wines are low in alcohol and big
in flavor.
This Red Blend, like it’s sister Malbec, are loaded with solid flavors. Not too sweet.
Not too dry, but just right. These wines will slowly undress for your tongue,
landing softly, pleasure your taste buds and leave you wanting another sip.
Priced under $10.
