Sheer curiosity got the better of me the other day as I was shopping for some relatively inexpensive red wines for the summer. Nabbed the 'usual suspects' from Portugal's Douro valley (these are ALWAYS pleasurable, especially around the barbecue). But then my eye caught a few bottles tucked away on a shelf... Sula Winery 2008 Shiraz from - guess where - India! Popped one Sunday night with a lemon-sage roasted chicken. VERY enjoyable! Smooth. Nice ripe fruit with just the right touch of spice. Subtle tannins and good balancing acidity. In short, a no-nonsense, accessible red that should please a wide audience.

Sometimes, my curiosity leads to some really good wine discoveries.
