This is a good wine egg. It gave me more grape than cherry, but still a nice bright classic red wine flavor. Better cold, I think. Couldn't make the suggested sandwich happen, but this is much better than the crappy Qdoba meal I paired with it, that's for sure!

Hello, wine! I found this to be a perfectly "fine" wine, consistent over time and nothing to write your blog about, unless you have a regular food review blog or something. It was fine. I had it with a sad, lonely Thanksgiving dinner. :D?
I also made stuffed peppers to go along with this (post hoc), and they were solid, although I think the pepper is more for presentation and the inside mush was the best part. Sorry for the deconstructed pic, but you can imagine.

Ah, wine. My friend and my enemy! For some reason I have a bunch of Areyna wines, but I don't have a strong brand characterization for them yet. I like the screw top. I don't think I've had a Torrontes before, but it didn't leave a strong impression either. White wine is usually pretty drinkable, which this was, and fairly refreshing, but I didn't get any "notes" -- no fruitiness or sweetness or fizz, just your baseline white wine flavor. Kind of like the perfume Not a Perfume which is just "parfum" and no other ingredients, you know? Otherwise it was decent. Not very different warm or cold, either.
