Each week I will bring to you a new selection of wine and tell you why I made my selection, why it’s good, and what foods it will go well with.For this weeks wine, I chose the 2007 Ménage à trois Red wine. It’s a simple wine, but it goes well with many dishes, and it’s a tasty treat especially with dark chocolate.
Grown and bottled at the Folie à Deux Winery in Napa valley, this seductive wine will have you believing you are drinking a $40 bottle of wine. It’s a blended wine with a ménage of three different grapes that consists of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It’s a well priced wine as well, ranging from $8 to $13 per bottle. When opened, it’s not necessary to let it breathe.
Just released in June of 2008, it’s relatively a young wine, but it’s perfectly aged as is. It starts silky smooth, with tastes of chocolate, juicy ripen cherry, and with light tannins to make this wine a delightful finish.
Enjoy this wine with braised lamb chops, grilled steak, prime rib, filet mignon, pizza, or even a hamburger. There's not much that this wine will not go good with. The 2007 Ménage à trois Red wine my recommendation of the week and for weeks to come.
I hope you enjoyed this weeks selection.

Based on several pairings of this with garlic, the Menage a Trois does not go well with garlic. Or curry.
It really depends on the concentration of garlic in the dish.
However, everyone's palet is different. I personally drink this particular wine all the time and I've never experienced a bad pairing with a dish containing garlic.
Maybe, bruschetta on bread with this wine is not a good combination, but drinking with various Italian main-course meals are great.
