A Wheel Wine Deal

by Rob Brinkley

By now, we’re all supposed to feel comfy with French wine pairings and grape names, oui? But if something about labels, varietals, and that chicken-fish-beef conundrum still baffles, take a ride on Red Bicyclette. Pitched as a “friendly” French wine, this southern-region smoothie aims for fruity, not snooty, and comes from just three basic sun-drenched grapes: Chardonnay, Syrah, and Merlot. Plus, it sports a sociable price ($12) and a happy little French bike rider and his pooch on the label. Still not comfortable? Mais non. www.redbicyclette.com
