I’m going to pretend that it’s only been a few days since my last post and throw down a little wine review. If you can’t hang with that, then up yours hippie!
Since I no longer have access to my beloved BevMo, I’ve been forced to find a new source for my wine fix… the nice folks over at Steve’s Wine Market offer up a lovely, upscale establishment for me to score my junk. This is where I scored a 2004 Cousino Macul Antiguas Reservas Cabernet Sauvignon. Two words: “it good”. It comes from Chile, part of that “other America” down south… It’s pretty big and round and has a nice sweet fruit splash and a decent amount of depth. My guess is that the snobby-wine-tweakers would rate it in the high eighties… something like an 88 and I think that’s where I’d put it too. It’s the $12 bottle of wine that drinks more like $20.
Personally, I’ll be keeping a bottle of this in the cellar (okay closet)… but as always, your milage may vary. Oh, and by the way, on this same trip I also picked up a 2004 Wishing Tree Shiraz… which left me wishing I hadn’t. Mostly because it totally blows… mostly.
