$6 Grenache/Shiraz/Mouvedre Blend
"The Contortionist"
Sideshow
Australia
Albertsons

Sideshow wines are perfect party wines when you want to bring a bottle to go with the conversation, not start it. This particular red blend was pretty good. The first taste was quite dark, with a lot of deep chocolate flavors but as I continued, the flavors got a little lighter and a hint of grassiness came through. Normally Sideshow wines are around $9, but I got it on sale...so it still counts as a bargain!

I give this blend a 4 out of 5 stars.
