What wine goes with Squash Blossom Quesadillas? Stephen at Moore Brothers Wine Company writes:

Hi,

Here are some ideas that would work. The little red here is great with the mexican food that I have prepared at home, and the wine also takes well to a slight chill. And as always I love a Rose with this type of cooking.

Indicazione Geografica Tipica Salento Santi Medici Rosso Castel di Salve 2007 $13
The Marra family has been growing fruit in Salento for over 40 years. Young Francesco Marra and his friend Francesco Winspeare began estate-bottling small quantities of wine in the late eighties. There are over 100 acres under vine, with the best sites and fruit reserved for the estate wines. From 100% Negroamaro, the Santa Medici Rosso exhibits bright currant and black-raspberry aromas that are accented by a natural, sweet spice. Cool, stainless-steel fermentation and no barrel aging allow the pure fruit of this unique vinifera variety to show through.

Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence Cuvée du Château Rosé Château Calissanne 2007 $13.5
Château Calissanne is the largest single estate in the vicinity of Aix-en-Provence and is nestled on the remains of an ancient Roman camp, overlooking Aix-en-Provence from a cliff constantly windswept by the Mistral. General Manager and winemaker Jean Bonnet makes some of the finest and most elegant wines in Provence. This very sophisticated rosé de repas is a blend of equal parts of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, vinified in stainless-steel cuves using the traditional saignée method.

Enjoy,
