Tonight's dinner, celebrating the end of winter (allow me this delusion) is roast chicken with whole grain rice and green beans. Organic shallots and pancetta accent the whole lot. Its a big feel good meal that begs for a hearty red.With great trepidation I reach for a German varietal called Dornfelder. Its got a label that says beer and a nose that warns "sweet." Light on acidity but with firm tannins and yep, sweet fruit this is an easily approachable wine. It has a bit too much of that prune on the finish though for me. Pair this $10 bottle with a big German meal.... mmmm bratwurst.....
