Pajarito

It's been a while since I blogged about wine. I like to think it was winter blues and a combination of drinking vodka dirty martinis and Prosecco/St. Germaine cocktails. However, now I'm getting back in touch with the beverage I can have every day of the week.

So I got back into the swing of things with a Chilean wine called Batitu Merlot 2008. Apparently Batitu is named after a charming bird, however is that even a legitimate bird? Anyways, it is a medium bodied wine with aromas and flavors of ripe berries. It paired nicely with the meal I made that evening, consisting of chicken cutlets with lemon and pepper marinade, couscous with Parmesan cheese and a mesclun salad. It was also $6, so perfect frugal prices for this recession that still lingers.
