Tanji’s Wine Finds
Red wine (in moderation, of course) is notoriously good for your heart! Tannat is a varietal prominent in Uruguay and is believed to be one of the healthiest wines you can drink. The Bodega Garzon Tannat Reserva ($18) is a superb example with big, bold flavor and a smooth, pleasing finish. Pick it up at your local Central Market and try it for yourself!
