Wine

Looking for something to round out that romantic dinner for two this weekend? Web Editor Michael Mayday sampled two different wines for us from Kroger, both less than $7.

1. Gato Negro's 2009 Merlot, Chile. $5.99

This bright red wine goes well with any fish dish, or, of course, any red meat.
Very fruity, dry finish.




2. Aconga's 2009 Chenin Blanc-Chardonnay, Argentina. $5.99

 $5.99 at Krogers

This white wine is an interesting mix of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay wines, and as with any white wine, it should be paired with white meat, like chicken, or pasta. The Chenin Blanc throws a curveball into the mix, and gives it a slightly wider range of food parings. Try it with something spicy or oriental. Best with poultry. Fruity, slight apple taste, wet finish.
