.Ever wonder what the Doffo family and staff members are drinking right now? With so many amazing Doffo wines to choose from, we will be catching up with a different family or staff member each month to find out what their current favorite is, why they love it, and what they suggest pairing it with.
We continue the series with Damian Doffo, who celebrated his birthday earlier this month. Damian’s pick is the 2016 Syrah Reserve. Let’s hear from Damian:
This is my favorite wine at the moment because I’m a huge Syrah fan, in fact it’s one of my favorite varietals that we produce. This is the big boy Syrah, aged for 48 months in new oak and offering some incredible complexity and smoothness.
My go-to pairing for any Syrah, but this one especially, is a big pan-seared ribeye steak – maybe a tomahawk if you wanna get crazy! –with some garlic mashed potatoes and a salad. Most importantly though, you want to drink this wine with friends or loved ones. Lots of memories are made around a bottle of Syrah.
