What's behind my fridge door tonight? A spatbergunda. I love saying spatbergunda. Do you know the other name for this grape variety? Yes. You do. Pinot Noir. So Spatbergande comes from Germany. I love this wine. Serve it very slightly chilled, take it out of the fridge. It is perfect because this weekend, it's lovely and warm. I'm going to be going over to my family. This is a crowd pleasing red wine, which is light. It is delicate, perfect with grilled meats, so awesome with barbecue. And also, it goes very well with something like grilled salmon. Really delicate, and that is because the skins are really thin. And here in Germany, the vines grow in these really, really steep slopes. I love wines from Germany, and this is delicious. Spatbergunda. Awesome crowd pleasing wine, and it won't break the bank. So look out for wines from Germany.
