WINE TALK

It’s early, but the SO wanted something so I opened a South African 2005 Eikendal Stellenbosch “Classique” 73%/28% CabS/CabF blend.

$22. Good QPR cab.

Nice. Can’t go wrong with those. Let us know how Corra is drinking as I haven’t touched any of my bottles. I will be having 2005 Sbragia Family Cabernet Sauvignon Wall Vineyard tonight.

An '04 Carlisle zin of some sort to go with the ribs I’m getting ready to pull off of the Weber.

Just opened a 2006 Chappellet Mountain Cuvee for the TCU game. First time I’ve had it. This wine is really tasty for the price, I am enjoying it quite a bit.

N. - there are a few in the Houston crew that get this. They seem to be fairly active with wine dinners. Tom Gutting is a key conspirator.
