Thanks for the comments all!

InterWined enjoyed an outstanding Montepulciano de Abruzzo called Inferi (2004) with some steak and chips last night. The wine can be bought at Oddbins, but don’t know the price, as it was a gift. Therefore, it shouldn’t be rated.

However, the intense red cherry aroma wrapped with a sprinkle of cinnamon and vanilla balanced the pepper and olive oil on the fried sirloin incredibly.

More importantly, InterWined had trouble sleeping last night because of a question left by Carlos:

‘What wine goes with fish and chips?’

Also, InterWined was speaking to an alcohol and health researcher yesterday, Joan Dorn, from the University of Buffalo (she authored a study on alcohol consumption and risk of heart attack with women, which will be published on Wine Spectator, subscription recommended).

She contends that only beer can go with spicy chicken wings, well, at least that is the general feeling in Buffalo.

InterWined will address both of these issues, but needs a few more sleepless nights to figure it out. (Now, where can we find some spicy chicken wings in London?)
