HOUSTON – It’s that time of the week again folks, where our fabulous hosts Derrick and Courtney drink wine over Zoom with people who really know a lot about wine. Sommelier Elvis Espinoza of Caracol is with us and he’s hand picked three red wines that go great with anything on the grill. 1) EARTHQUAKE ZINFANDEL ($21) -Lodi, California- A rich, burly wine with peppery spice and baked cherry pie aromas. 3) DUBOEUF BEAUJOLAIS VILLAGES ($12) -Beaujolais Village, France- Exhibiting a ruby-purple color, red berry perfume and floral bouquet, this wine bursts on the palate with gobs of dark cherry and cassis fruit. Soft, lush and ready to drink now, serve slightly chilled can work as a “fish-red”You can buy these 3 grill-friendly wines for 59 at Caracol here.
