Re-Discovering Iron Gate Merlot

Jim grilled up some chicken and steak kabobs today and I was tasked with choosing a wine. I'm in "winter" mode,so I am partial to reds at the moment. I pulled out the Iron Gate Merlot and I am SO glad that I did! I had tasted this wine back in the summer when Jim and I trekked out to Mebane to go to the Iron Gate Winery.

The Iron Gate Merlot is quite possibly the best thing ti ever come out of Mebane. It went well the with chicken, the steak, the veggies and even the jalapeno potato chips I had been snacking in. We still had couple glasses left over after dinner and it went swimmingly well with chocolate and biscotti. This wine goes with EVERYTHING! We plan to take another trip back there to get more, and have another one of their very generous wine tastings. Yum!
