Big House winery in Monterey County bases its playful name – and prison-themed labels – on the nearby Soledad State Correctional Facility. (I wonder if the prisoners are amused.) This full-bodied red, made from the concentrated fruit of century-old vines, delivers a burst of juicy fruit complemented by smoky, charred quality. Don’t let it do time in the cellar – it’s meant for current enjoyment. Perfect for sticky ribs or spicy Mexican fare. $36.99 for a three-litre box in B.C
