Shift manager, sales manager, just plain manager… Who? Why, Aries! Those born in March and April are natural-born leaders, or at least they think so – this confident and energetic zodiac sign isn't afraid to take the reins and show the way.
Courage, determination, and initiative are Aries' virtues, and representatives of this sign should definitely harness this valuable energy both in personal life and at work. Action-oriented and fearless, Aries could excel as a police officer, trainer, entrepreneur, or in emergency and rescue services. Ambitious and bold, Aries are naturally great artists as well. Famous Aries include Spede Pasanen (April 10), Leonardo da Vinci (April 15), Diana Ross (March 26), and Céline Dion (March 30).
Such a strong sign naturally needs an equally determined and capable wine, and that's found in Ironstone from California. These rock-solid food wines won't disappoint, no matter what Aries is cooking. That's guaranteed by the multi-talented professionals Ironstone Old Vine Zinfandel and Ironstone Chardonnay.
Ironstone Old Vine Zinfandel is made from grapes from vines over 45 years old and aged in new French oak. It represents the elegance and balance of a long tradition in a wine style that's easily overdone. For a Zinfandel, this is only medium-bodied, and the alcohol content stays moderate at 14.5%. Complexity is added by Shiraz and Petite Sirah, each contributing five percent.
Chardonnay, on the other hand, is a grape that divides wine lovers perhaps more than any other. Some will drink anything but, while others absolutely must have a robust and full-bodied glass of oaked Chardonnay. What does Aries say – strong no or absolutely yes? Either way, we recommend giving Ironstone Chardonnay a chance to show what it's like at its finest.
What do these pair with or what occasions are they suited for? Your taste buds recommend trying both to be safe, but the wines also have their own specialties. Let's get acquainted!
Ironstone Old Vine Zinfandel
Ironstone Old Vine Zinfandel is the king of meat dishes. Pork stew, steaks, and game dishes go down velvety smooth with this red wine, but it also has an eye for the beauty of vegetarian cuisine. Try it with tomato-based pastas, stuffed peppers, or ratatouille – wow!
If and when Aries is a fan of strong cheeses, this is the wine that gets them. And if that's not enough, there's more: the wine's favorite dessert is cake with plenty of dark chocolate. A great choice for indulging and why not also for fireside ambiance – if Aries can find the time between all that activity.

Ironstone Chardonnay
And here's another assistant manager! Ironstone Chardonnay is no slouch either: it's really delicious with risottos, shellfish, or light pastas, for example. However, it also has incredible charm with white meat and even grilled foods, though those are often thought of as red wine territory only. Now you have options, so the question is, what's in Aries' kitchen today?
If Aries gets really excited, how does an oaked glass of chilled Chardonnay sound with lobster? Or as a companion to homemade risotto with jumbo prawns? It's always a good time to treat yourself – that famous everyday luxury starts right here!
