In the Dallas Morning News today...

"What to drink with Easter Ham"...
2008 Crios Rosé of Malbec, Argentina

($11.99; Select Centennial stores; Big Daddy's on Northwest Highway and in Arlington; Whole Foods Markets; Farpointe Cellars; Select Goody Goody stores; Central Market; Mr G's in Plano; Market Street) An amazingly versatile wine and a third-time panel selection. "It doesn't back down from the ham, and it effortlessly complements the sides," Howald said. "The tannins make it work," Tidwell said. "It's a red, without overbearing tannins." Pinnell noted the wine's cinnamon and Asian-spice notes, and Luscher liked its up-front cherry flavor, which complemented the sweet ham.
