Calgary Flames 2021 Wine Pairing, Toro Bravo Tempranillo Merlot DO Valencia
Wine notes
This is a great value purchase for when you want a nice drinkable wine without breaking the bank. At under $10 you will be finding reasons to watch more Calgary flames games. The hint of spice that is typical of the Tempranillo grape will keep you ready and alert for anything the Flames throw at their opponents. This spice is balanced with the smooth characteristics of Merlot, just like how Johnny Gaudreau smooths out the Flames line-up.
Team notes
The 2021 Flames reverse retro jersey features “Blasty” – a horse head blowing flames out of its nostrils. With the spark and grit of players like Matthew Tkatchuk and Milan Lucic, the Flames have a roster that can be just as wild as the logo on the front of their jersey. The raging bull on the label of Toro Bravo is a perfect compliment to the 2021 roster and reverse retro jersey.
