PREFER YOUR FRUIT IN A BOTTLE? TRY POMEGRANATE WINE

Wine lovers occasionally use the term “pomegranate” to describe the
flavor or color of red wines. Now there’s a wine that’s actually
made from the fruit. You can find a bottle for $9 at Central Market,
where a shelf label touts its antioxidant benefits. Add to that
the much ballyhooed claims that red wine is good for you (now being
re-examined), and you’ve got “double bang for your buck,” says the
store’s wine and beer manager, Martin Korson. The wine, from Armenia,
is sweet, fruity and pleasant, perfect for a novice drinker. “I like
this in a wine-cooler, back-in-high-school kind of way,” one taster
commented. Chronicle wine guru Mike Lonsford suggested pairing it
with smoked turkey and cranberry sauce — or using it in a wine
spritzer. “Well-chilled,” he added.
