6th Annual Key Biscayne Wine, Food and Silent Auction Exciting news people! The Rotary Club of Key Biscayne hosted a wine competition called "New World Vs. Old World". The New and Old Worlds were split up and the finalists from the two categories then competed for the ultimate title. We're thrilled to announce that at the end of the day our Red Rex was the last wine standing and received the "Best Of Show", beating out wines from Argentina, Chile, France, Italy, Austria and Spain. 2006 Red Rex "Best of Show" (and only one point away) 2008 Chardonnay "Gold"

2004 Deerfield Ranch Winery Shiraz Cuvee A Syrah Dry Red Table wine from Sonoma, North Coast, California, US Source Reviewer Rating Maturity Current (Release) Cost Wine Advocate #184 August 2009 Robert Parker 89+ Drink: 2009 - 2016 $24 Dense ruby/purple with plenty of tar, cassis, blackberry, and pepper, this intriguing wine displays terrific aromatics, lots of spice and earth, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. Interestingly, it is a blend of 75% Syrah and the rest Petit Verdot, Malbec, Merlot, and Petite Sirah. It is a big wine that should drink well for at least 5-7 years.
