The best part of working on G Luxe is that I get to learn something new about living the good life almost everyday. Take today for instance where I learned about a type of wine called Pinotage which was developed by a South African professor in 1925, and is a blend of Pinot Noir and Cinsault. What makes Pinotage unique are its strong flavors which according to Serious Eats is perfect "if you absolutely adore coffee-thick, black, dark roasted," and "it's the red wine for coffee addicts who can't go for more than a few hours without a taste of their favorite bitter brew." That sounds like the entire G Luxe Crew.
If you're looking to try some Pinotage, Serious Eats recommends bottles by Fort Ross Winery and if you're just interested in learning more about the blend, check out the Pinotage Association. Resident Wine Guru Shadinsky will be sampling some Pinotage and he'll be providing his own recommendations soon.
