Happy Thursday Everyone! I am ready for the weekend. I was able to enjoy some good friend time last weekend and..well…there was wine. My friend, Elizabeth, offered a 2016 Beaucanon Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. The Beaucanon Estate winery focuses on sustainable and organic methods. Louis de Coninck, the winemaker, originates from France and learned about winemaking there. Welcome to America, Louis! We’re glad to have you here making wines. This was a really good wine if you like a medium oak with hints of pepper and spice. I do. Let’s face it…I like most wines. The word, Sommelier, meaning wine steward, originates from France. I originate from Texas and I consider myself a Sommelier for the common man. I’m a SommeliYAY. Yeah, that’s what I am. You can find this wine, in limited quantity, at Total Wines for about $32.00 per bottle. Have a great weekend!
