TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Written by Harry Warren and Jack Brooks, “That’s Amore” hit the big time when sung by Dean Martin in 1953. The movie The Caddy featured it first, and it almost won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. It’s might be Martin’s biggest hit next to “Everybody Loves Somebody.”

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Pair the Syrah with gyros, paella, BBQ pork fajitas, and/or cheesecake. Pair the Cabernet with blue cheese crostini, beef stew, grilled portobellos, and/or chocolate chip cookies.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
