GOOD DOG!

Lab Red Vinho Regional Lisboa

LCBO 534586, $10.15

That’s Lab as in Labrador and, indeed, a handsome canine decorates the label of this great-value Portuguese red. With ripe black and red fruit on the nose, and plum, spice and licorice on the palate, the wine matches—appropriately enough—with the foods we love during the dog days of summer: barbecued red meats, tapas, cheese and charcuterie.
