Friday Dinner

After receiving an outstanding recommendation from a rep at Kermit Lynch, we enjoyed a fun bottle of wine last night with our hanger steak and pommes darphin. The 2009 Beaumes-de-Venise rouge, Domaine de Durban lived up to its billing. With good fruit, earthiness and silky tannins, the wine married very well with the rich flavor of the onglet. If you are fan of Rhone style wines then you'll welcome the nuanced sophistication of the Beaume-de-Venise rouge.
