Ribs and Cheesecake: A PERFECT meal with AMAZING wine!

Name: Veo Ultima
Variety: Syrah
Region: Colchagua Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2008
Price: $10
Wine Critic Review: Standard value-priced Chilean Syrah in that it’s herbal and leafy on the nose, with a mix of olive, earth, spice and dried red fruit aromas. The palate is a bit stretched out and tannic, while the flavor profile is pure olive, herbs and dried cherry. Finishes solid but herbal. M.S.  (6/1/2011)  — 85
Personal Review: Reminded me of black cherries. Lasting flavor, but very pleasant. 
Food Pairing: We had this with a meal of pork ribs, potatoes and green beans. It was a delicious meal and the wine only added to it.



Name: Starbound
Variety: Blueberry Dessert Wine
Region: Lexington, NC
Country: United States
Year: Not Vintaged
Price: $19.95
Shop Review: 
If you love Port we have a treat for you! Starbound is a Port style wine with a twist. The taste is pure Port flavors with just a touch of blueberry finish. The difference in our Port is that it really is made out of blueberries! Port lovers will enjoy it as will anyone who loves dessert wine.
Personal Review: This wine was made out of blueberries and as a result very unique. While you could definitely tell that the wine was made of blueberries, the flavor was subtle, and also had a hint of chocolate.
Food Pairing: My parents and I had this wine with cheesecake that was leftover from my dad's birthday and the only thing I can say is that it was ORGASMIC! Oh my god, so good, if you've never tried this wine, get in your car, drive to North Carolina, buy this and a cheesecake and eat them NOW! Or, you know, save gas and order online, but seriously, this is the best thing EVER!
