Hello! I hope everyone has had a great weekend! A couple of weekends ago, some of my best friends and I went to dinner in downtown Dallas and had a great time! We enjoyed a great dinner at Truluck’s while catching up and enjoying some of the best laughs. I made the mistake of ordering a 2017 Katherine Goldschmidt Crazy Creek Cabernet Sauvignon. It was only a mistake because while it is a good Cabernet, it was more fruit forward and wasn’t pairing well with our dinner. We were eating heavier seafood dishes and steak, so it just didn’t stand up. My friend Elizabeth suggested a different wine, so we went with the 2016 Paraduxx Proprietary Napa Valley Red Wine and it made a difference. It was more earthy and less fruit forward. It had notes of cocoa, and wood, but with some more balanced fruit on the back end. We proceeded to order more and continued to enjoy more wine, food and belly laughs. You can find this wine at some grocery stores and Total Wines for around $40.00 per bottle. It was a great night with some of the best friends. Those are the blessings in life! Here’s to the blessings in your life!
