Queso & Chorizo Melt recipe on page 149

ANTAÑO RESERVA RIOJA 2009 LCBO 427369, $16.70

The big, punchy flavours of this melt need a muscular wine, and a mature Rioja fits the bill perfectly. The years of barrel- and bottle-aging have brought all its elements together. Sly acidity and subtle velvety tannins are deeply integrated into the smooth body, cloaked with intense flavours of black cherries, refreshing cranberry and hints of vanilla and leather from its 26 months in oak.
