Earthy Wines With Earthy Food

So my son the chef invites the family over to his house for some braised short ribs over noodles with a home made Syrah based sauce. Butternut squash and blanched Brussels sprouts round out the sides. This hearty, earthy meal required big red wines that would stand up to the food. I was very pleased with our choices:

2003 Valifieri Barolo, $25
2006 Ojai Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah, $34 - 94 Points Robert Parker

Both wines available at The Market for your next hearty meal!
