Time to open a bottle of red. What do you reach for?
    Once upon a time, the answer might have been simple. A claret, perhaps, or a fine red Burgundy. For pasta, maybe a Barbera, or a Côtes-du-Rhône should do the trick.
    But today, things are different. We are spoiled. As consumers, we can choose from essentially any red wine in the world. So why not spice it up? We have access to an extensive variety of styles, regions, and grape varieties like we have never enjoyed before, and exploration is bound to yield pleasant surprises in unexpected places.
    We’ve selected six off-the-beaten-path reds that are sure to spark your curiosity and stimulate your palate. You may find they also provide greater value than the usual suspects. Don’t hesitate to read up on these on our website—you may discover something special and before you know it, find yourself sipping Marzemino and Terrano instead of the typical Côtes-du-Rhône.–Anthony Lynch
