I just got back from a week without cell phone coverage and email access. It was great! To settle back into the real world I reinstated my Monday Night Football tradition. I had some good friends over, we prepared a spread of greasy food, and cracked open a bottle of red wine. This weeks choice was Goats do Roam (a wordplay off the Cotes Du Rhone wine region of France.)
Goats do Roam is a really drinkable wine from South Africa. Its fun and fresh and really tasty. I shared the bottle with my friend Sara, and we both agreed that while it pairs really well with a nice Monday Night Football food spread, it also tastes pretty good on its own. It's fruity, but the wine's injection of a little spice nicely balances the fruit.
Like the Gotham wine, this wine is also screw top wine that defies the stereotype.
Recommendation: Definitely buy it.
I just tasted and wrote up Goats do Roam Red 2005 and mentioned your comments. This wine was quite decent after some breathing.
