This wining hour, a melancholy mood draws me to the Warren Zevon album The Wind and his version of Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”. The song is accompanied by a 2016 Justin Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles.

Songs in My Wine Glass
What’s playing in your wine glass?
Acorn Squash and Crossfork Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Acorn squash usually conjures images of fall’s bounty, the autumn harvest’s cornucopia of pumpkin, butternut, spaghetti squash, and all those hard, bumpy winter squashes that we don’t quite know what to do with.
2 For $20
Two for $20 sounds more like a sale at a cheap clothing store than my local liquor store. For me, two bottles of wine for $20 is much more exciting than 100% cotton crew neck T-shirts in an assortment of spring colors.
Vistamar Sepia Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
The presence of bitter flavors in the Vistamar Cabernet Sauvignon are a quality that could make you love it or hate it.
Cheap Cab Throwdown-McManis vs. Josh
A while back we discovered a Cabernet Sauvignon from McManis Family Vineyards in California’s northern interior area, a nicely balanced, value-priced wine that was excellent for everyday consumption. A couple of months later we bought Josh, a popular California Cab from Total Wine that we thought was pretty good, but is it better than McManis? This question calls for a throwdown.
Artemis Cab and Fondue For Valentine’s Day
We’re becoming well-practiced in the art of fondue as our go-to holiday meal for two. It’s an entertaining activity we both enjoy that culminates in a scrumptious meal.

We start in the afternoon making the sauces, Green Goddess, portContinue reading “Artemis Cab and Fondue For Valentine’s Day”
Simi Cab Vintage Throwdown: 2007 vs. 2013
For the New Year, 2016, we’ve decided to say goodbye to 2007. I’m referring to our last bottle of 2007 Simi Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley in Sonoma, California. We first tasted Simi in 2010 when we owned our liquor store and brought home a bottle of the 2007 vintage. We liked it well enoughContinue reading “Simi Cab Vintage Throwdown: 2007 vs. 2013”
Rutherford Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Excellent example of a Napa Cab for under $20.
McManis Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
There aren’t many $10 wines that deliver as well as McManis Cabernet Sauvignon. I guess that’s why several vintages have recently made the Wine Enthusiast Best Buy List. The McManis Vineyard is a family owned and operated winery located near the town of Ripon, California. Ron McManis joined the family business in 1979, becoming theContinue reading “McManis Cabernet Sauvignon 2014”
