When it comes to these tacos that you can eat all day every day, it's best to find a wine that invokes the same feeling.
The all-important Q - what wine should I drink as I cook this, whilst I eat it and open another bottle afterwards!! This one was SIMPLE. Chalk Hill Fiano from McLaren Vale. I picked this one up from winedirect.com.au from my buddy Dan - a half-decent dude who might steer you in the right direction when choosing wine. ;)
Cheeky and rich winter warmer. Will hold it's own against a McLaren Vale or Barossa Shiraz.
Looking for something to stand up to that big, bad red? Look here. And throw some garlic mash on the side.
winter staple in the boss' household. It's hearty, delicious and is a great excuse to open a bottle of red wine in the middle of the day!

Shiraz (which is essentially Syrah) is a dark-skinned grape grown throughout the world and used primarily to produce powerful red wines.
Wines made from Syrah are often powerfully flavoured and full-bodied. The variety produces wines with a wide range of flavor notes, depending on the climate and soils where it is grown, as well as other viticultural practices chosen. Aroma characters can range from violets to berries (usually dark as opposed to red), chocolate, espresso and black pepper. No one aroma can be called "typical" though blackberry and pepper are often noticed. With time in the bottle these "primary" notes are moderated and then supplemented with earthy or savory "tertiary" notes such as leather and truffle.
"Secondary" flavor and aroma notes are those associated with several things, generally winemakers' practices (such as oak barrel and yeast regimes).
