Unanimous favorite the Carmen, that was the first bottle gone and I think everyone asked for more 
Carmenere is fruity and spicy and pairs every so nicely with curry. Add in curried chicken with quinoa and peas, veggies and hummus, bread and olive oil, meat and cheese, and you can’t forget the dessert. Oh the dessert- pumpkin mousse, angel food cake with heath bars. Foodie heaven.
