A Featured Favorite: The Black Chook

Mysterious. Complex. Intriguing.

Just a few of the words wine maker Ben Riggs uses when describing The Black Chook, a suprisingly robust blend of Shiraz and Viognier from Southern Australia. Crafted with grapes from two contrasting climates, McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek, this remarkable wine finds balance and harmony far out pacing its modest price. Offered at 518 West for $7.50 glass/$29 bottle, "The Chook" is perfect for the casual wine drinker and experienced palate alike.

This Featured Glass pour has been a mainstay on our list longer than most, and for good reason. The Black Chook is well suited for pairing with our wonderful wood-grilled dishes, and is also perfect for sharing among friends before dinner. Try the classic Chicken Parmesan with "The Chook", and you'll find a touch of "Down Under" here at 518 West.

Cheers!
