This wine is a collaborative effort between The Marigny and food journalist Molly Baz, resulting in a chillable red-ish wine perfect for everyday drinking.
We don't like to pick faves but this year's chillable red may be even sassier than last. It's the perfect bridge between fall and winter--light enough to enjoy on warmer days but with enough structure to last into the chillier ones. It's juicy and mouthwatering, with extremele leves of gluggablility. Think strawberry jam, swedish fish, and those beloved juicy-juice boxes of yesteryear.
