Situational Winedy
It might seem strange that the Hughes Family could be made up of a Syrah and a Zinfandel, but if we've learned anything from sitcoms, it's that wacky pairings make for plenty of entertainment.
So apply that to this Hughes Family 2008 Syrah and 2008 Zinfandel. The Syrah is vibrant with black cherries, figs, dark chocolate, black and white pepper, followed by notes of oak. Meanwhile the Zinfandel has flavors of raspberries, red cherries, and pomegranate with aromas of white chocolate mousse. Can you imagine those two wines in the same setting? TALK ABOUT ZANY.
We don't know how owning this wine'll work out for you, but basic sitcom formula suggests that several funny events and entertaining scenarios will take place, and your home will be turned into a place with only three walls, but ignore that second part, and enjoy the fun and entertaining scenarios ... and wine!
(No laugh track included)
