Blaufränkisch

Blaufränkisch (blouw-FRAHN-keesh) is a red grape variety grown throughout Austria, Germany and Central Europe. In Germany it is known as Blauer Limberger, in Hungary it is called Kékfrankos, in Slovakia and Croatia it is known as Frankovka and it is called Game in Bulgaria. I explored this grape in a bottle of 2006 Prieler Blaufränkisch Johannishohe from Burgenland, Austria. Since this was one of the many grapes that had not crossed my radar, I was very surprised with how much I enjoyed the wine especially when served with a cheesy vegetable lasagna with loads of mushrooms, spinach and eggplant while watching Sawyer fight the Black Smoke Monster on "Lost". Now, any suggestions on what wine to sip while watching Jack and Renee on "24"?
