Calling all red wine lovers! August 28th is National Red Wine Day, and while we celebrate wine every day, we won’t pass up the opportunity to follow a theme. There’s much wine to choose from across the red grapes. If you want to learn about the history of red varieties, check out any of Ellen Clifford’s Old World vs. New World segments: Merlot , Tannat , Cabernet Sauvignon , Cabernet Franc , Pinot Noir Part 1 and 2 , Syrah , Zinfandel , Malbec and Grenache Noir . You can pick out your favorite red wine pairing for a fun Monday night dinner. However you choose to celebrate, enjoy these notes from the Delectable community and happy Red Wine Day!
