Once the hustle and bustle of the weekend draws to a close, we have Sunday dinner. Tonight we had chicken fajitas again. They are easy and all the extras are easy to prep. Since I've written about chicken fajitas recently, I am writing about cheap wine.
I once read an article about a wine maker, whose philosophy was to produce a good, quality wine at a price a person could afford to drink every evening with dinner. This is an idea I can get behind. Currently one of my favorites is Rex-Goliath. Tonight we are having the Rex-Goliath Shiraz. The description on the back of the bottle says it is peppery and plummy. This is a description I can understand. I thought it held its own with our meal.
My father-in-law always remarks on this wine producer's label. As you can see it is a drawing of a large rooster. He says: "That sure is a big rooster!" According to the legend on the back, HRM (His Royal Majesty) Rex Goliath was a treasured circus attraction. He was billed as the "World's Largest Rooster." This wine maker equates their wines to the rooster's larger than life personality. All I can say is that for less than $7/bottle it this Shiraz is a rich, tasty wine.
As Julia Child would say, "Bon appetit!"
