For this week’s Wine Thursday!

we’re recommending the wine

that finished an oh-so-close second

in last week’s Battle of the Red Blends

Tamarack Cellars Firehouse Red

is a perennial favorite

The 2015 version keeps the streak going

You could call it a Goldilocks blend.

Not too dry.  Not too sweet.  It’s just right. 

When they say blend, they aren’t kidding around. 

This one includes, take a deep breath,

Cabernet Sauvignon 

Merlot 

Syrah 

Cabernet Franc 

Counoise 

Sangiovese 

Petit Verdot 

Grenache

and Mourvedre.   

Put ’em all together and you get plum and dark berry flavors. 

Perfect timing as those flavors go very well with…

Chocolate-based Easter candy 

Tamarack Cellars 2015 Firehouse Red is very easy to find. 

You can pick it up at selected (some but not all)

Costco locations for just under $14. 

Safeway has it for just over $15. 

It’s at Fred Meyer for $16,

at QFC and New Seasons for $17

and at Bale’s Thriftway and Market of Choice for $18. 

Let us know what you think about Firehouse Red.

See you next week for another Wine Thursday!
