Okay...I admit it..,when I think of red-check table-cloth Italian (pizza, pasta, Stromboli, calzone, etc.) I almost invariably reach for a young, vibrant Zinfandel. And Carlisle does it better than most. Dark, juicy, acid-driven, soft and packing enough alcohol to bring a smile. And this very young, screw-topped Dry Creek wine ticks all the boxes. “Crush me! Now!” It cries. Okay. And a bottle is never enough for two. Yummy and guilt-proof. — 5 years ago
