Mencia
Get an incredible bargain on this very small-production wine made from vines planted in the early 1900s (whoa). Ripe blackberries, maraschino cherries, sour cherries, star anise and a meaty finish complement braised meats and veggies and rich tomato-based sauces. Break it out at cozy candlelit dinners in the dead of winter.
