What kind of wine did you have lately?

@ the misery of the names for Greek wines

Yesterday I had a red wine in a Greek restaurant.
The wine was named "Melina".
But as far as I know there is no grape variety by the name of "Melina".
I am always interested to know the grape variety.
But with the Greek wine you often only know the firm that makes it or sells it.
That seems to be all the Greeks are interested in.
If Germany followed the Greek example, then our wines would have names like: ALDI, LIDL, Kaufland, or Meyer, Müller, Schmidt.

In my case it was a mulled wine at one of the Christmas Markets here.

Apart from that I had a fine local Pinot Noir - or Spätburgunder.

Chianti from Metro. I drank it over a can of pork and beans and a grilled cheese sandwich.

We charcoal grilled some lamb sirloins a couple of days ago, and opened up a bottle of this that we bought around Thanksgiving.

US wine is completely absent from Canadian liquor stores and convenience stores so I've had to do without my favorite California wine.

Fortunately I live near the Niagara wine region so have an ample choice of good local wines.

A friend is a member of Two Sister's Winery and I've attended a few tastings.

This is my favourite although I continue to do research...

Gluwein, the missus’ favorite. She has mugs from many markets. I am not a wine drinker, but gluwein and the Christmas market ambiance is compelling.....

Does this pair well with your pork roll?

Was good to hear you cleared the shelves so quickly, reminds people of consequences. ;)
 
Jacob's Creek Reserve from Australia. It's the first time I've had this.

I have tried mulled wine and I do like it. My brother was the end of that sort of thing and he had his own mulling spices and he would add them to whine and even sometimes cider.
