Remember the post a while back about the Chateaneuf du Pape that I should have opened about ten years from now? And how it was supposed to go perfectly with this awesome shrimp and cornbread casserole? And it didn’t. Well, the next week, W and I whipped up the delicious shrimp recipe again when my parents visited. This time, I did what I should have done in the first place – go over to Highland Wine and ask Skip what to serve with dinner!

Memo proved to be superb, especially with the spicy, savory shrimp and cornbread casserole. Very fruity with nice tannins, it reminded me of some Zinfandels. Best of all, it’s economically priced for it to be a regular staple in your wine rack.

Origin: Italy
Where: Highland Wine
