It’s time for the Chinese Mid-Autumn (Moon/Lunar) Festival!
Otherwise known as a time for moon cakes—the Chinese version of fruitcake!
I purchased a red wine (of course it has to be a RED wine)
to help celebrate the holiday: Tratturi Primitivo Salento 2013.
I chose a Primitivo as I wanted to share the joy in drinking
this type of red wine with the family. Plus, I thought it was a fitting pairing to accompany the Mid-Autumn Festival as the traturri are the ancient grass
plains trails that shepherds in the olden days used in Puglia during the autumn
so that their sheep, cattle, etc., may be led to warmer grazing areas.
The color is a deep, ruby red. But the finish is smooth and
delicate!
Cheers, too, to a Super Blood Moon night!
