Wine and Music Review: Matt and Kim 'Sidewalks' & 2009 Tres Picos Garnacha

The fiery smorgasbord of funky tunes heard on Matt & Kim’s ‘Sidewalks’ complement the succulent flavors of 2009 Tres Picos Garnacha. This full-bodied Garnacha is remarkably delicious. It hosts bright, juicy flavors of red berry and dark fruits with a hint of spice. The finish is silky smooth. Tastes just like cherry pie. 

Garnacha is a versatile grape and is often used in blended varieties. It is dry and slightly sweet with a firm backbone. These qualities make it an excellent match for grilled or braised red meat. I would recommend pairing this wine (and album) with barbecued short ribs.

Wine, music and barbecue… it does not get any better than that!
