This season, entertain with these cool, lesser-known and up-and-coming wines.

Rich Red
Try a Rioja from Spain with favourites like grilled lamb or prosciutto-style smoked meats. Multi-award winning Osborne Montecillo Crianza 2003 ($15) has bold aromas of cherry and plum with earthy undertones. Fuller bodied with plenty of red fruit, its oak-aging adds depth. The acidity level is fresh and there’s a lively finish of chewy cherries.

Ok, i know this is silly, I have a subscription to wish magazine and on page 119 of the summer issue (summer sips - wine section) there was a really neat caddy for carrying wine glasses and a bottle, hoping to find this item i cut the picture out of the magazine... and subsequently lost it. Would someone please respnd to this and let me know where I can find this item? Editor's Note: You can find the Munimula wine try at Generate Design.
