First Drop First Love Red 2006

 "Great American Pizza" was the feature topic in the June 30th issue of The Wine Spectator. Harvey Steinman wrote a great article offering dozens of wallet-friendly red wines that pair wonderfully with pizza. His number one choice? First Drop First Love Red. A soft-textured, fruit driven wine, First Love perfectly complements the acidity of the tomatoes, and the cheese. Refer to Steinman's article in the June 30th issue for some great tips on pizza and wine pairing!

Matt Gant, winemaker and partner at First Drop Wines, is an up-and-coming star in Australia. Previously of St. Hallett, Gant is currently creating wines that are competing with some of the biggest names in Barossa. In 2004, Gant won the Wine Society's prestigious "Young Winemaker of the Year Award". 

While Gant makes high-end bottlings in the $75-$100 price range, First Love Red is a basic-level, everyday, food-friendly wine that can be enjoyed at an extremely affordable price.

At $9.99, you can't go wrong.  Gas prices are up, nights out are expensive. Order a pizza. Rent a movie. Stay home. Enjoy a few bottles of a fun, inexpensive wine. Sounds like a no-brainer!
