Recently we had the pleasure of going to a wine tasting at one of our favorite KC restaurants, Osteria Il Centro. This tasting is invite only and happens once a year. The advantage to this is there are dozens of wines to taste from several vendors, even better is they have them for sale at around cost. What do I say to this? F-yeah, f-yeah!
The star of the show for me was the Bila-Haut. The first thing I noticed was the Braille label, how cool is that? Even the blind need the ability to read varietal and vintage and Chapoutier took this into consideration. This is a great blend of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah and packs a punch and a smooth one at that. Lots of dark fruit, a bit of smoke and rosemary combine in this mouth watering vino. Definitely a wine that can pair with either surf or turf. Fire up the grill, get that nice KC Strip on there and maybe grill a few shrimp as well and enjoy this French bad boy.
