On the way to Lake Norman, we stopped in at Snook's Barbeque. Naturally, we had to grab some wine to go with our 'cue, so I got a bottle of Shiraz and one of Cab Franc.
This wine, somewhat spicy and smoky, is indeed a great partner to a pulled pork sandwich. That elusive menthol note helps the wine go with food. It also helps that the sun is shining, and I'm sitting next to a lake.

RayLen Shiraz 2006
Nose-chile peppers. Yes, that's what I smelled. It is a big, spicy, smoky wine with an aromatic, almost minty overtone. I didn't buy a bottle of this one, and now I'm not sure why. It would have been great with pork barbecue. I'm going to get some next time I visit (Shiraz/Syrah is one of my favorite grapes).
