Hello – it’s been a while. That starts like an intro to an Adele song. Technically, that starts like a Stain’d song because they have a song titled It’s Been a While.
You know what you do on a Friday night when your meal planning petered out on Wednesday, you’ve had a long week and you have nothing left in the refrigerator? You order pizza and chicken wings. Let me explain my diet and how my evening went. My diet is Keto with a few bad carbs, including wine, chocolate, and a little West Texas. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Tonight went like this…I called my sushi place but they don’t deliver on Fridays. You see…I can make a sushi roll keto-friendly by unrolling the sushi roll from the rice. Guys don’t get that, but girls probably do. I had to order pizza and wings instead so thus began my further downfall.
Enough of the confession…let’s talk about wine. I opened the 2013 Groth Cabernet Sauvignon – Oakville, as part of a keto-friendly diet. I let it breathe for a bit, although could have let it open up a little more. However, it had a good level of oak, a hint of black cherry and a slightly sharp end. I should have paired it with something other than pizza and wings. It would have paired better with a good pasta dish or a good filet. I ordered the pizza and chicken wings and let myself down and I probably let Groth down. Nonetheless, I would recommend this Cabernet. You can find it in some grocery stores or Total Wines for $45 to $50 per bottle. Have a wonderful carb-filled weekend!
