Try a charming red wine from Bulgaria for just $13
November 2, 2018Danube Plain, Bulgaria, $13
The heavy bottle connotes seriousness and heft, but this gamza, (the Bulgarian name for a grape variety known as kadarka elsewhere in Eastern Europe), is a light-bodied red, with bright cherry and berry flavors. It’s a fun red for sipping or snacking. ABV: 13 percent.
