Hello Everyone! I hope you have had an outstanding weekend. I enjoyed time with family and friends, so that always makes for a great time. I had some wine. I enjoyed the 2015 Raymond Reserve Selection Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa on Friday night. It had some fruit on the nose with hints of cocoa and then it blended into a medium bold finish with hints of oak. It did mellow out on the end and went well with steak. I’ve blogged about this brand and blend of wine before and it didn’t disappoint Friday night. I then met some friends on Saturday night and had the 2015 Alexander Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. I have had another year of this wine before as well and enjoyed it more so before than I did Saturday night. It was really sharp. Had we given it a bit more time to breathe it might have been more enjoyable. It was at least chilled a bit. The company made up for it and we had a great evening catching up. I guess I could be one of THOSE people who brings her own aerator to let the wine open up a bit more. Even I’m not that much of a wine snob…well not yet anyway. Whatever material thing you choose to be a snob about, own it. Just don’t be a snob to people. Have a great week!
A great blend of wine and wisdom
