The Chook Sparkling Shiraz (Yes, Sparkling Shiraz) was quite a surprise to me. When the waiter at Capital Grille started us off with this “aperitif,” I was suspicious. I was happy to learn after the first sip that it was quite satisfying after all. You may laugh, but I kind of thought of it as a red wine soda. Anyway, it was a rich, flavorful, and fruity concoction of red fruit jam such as raspberry and strawberry. It would go well with a nice fruit tart, or other fruity type desserts, or try it solo as an after dinner relaxer. Recommended; $15
