Make sure to stipulate cheap, crappy dry red, otherwise it's a waste of good wine.

recently found old episodes of the wine library tv. tv.winelibary.com Gary Vanyerchuk is this brash new jersey wine store owner that makes watching wine reviews fun. I now know about tannin and mid pallets

I'm not some big wine expert, but if you get the chance pick up some of this stuff.

14 Hands Cab Sav

Good Stuff, very smooth.

I've been drinking the 2012.

14 Hands is the Cheryl Crow of the cab sauv world.

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the more complex and layered wines out there. It has higher tannins and a savory character often described as black pepper and tobacco. Because of Cab’s traits, look for foods high in fat and umami flavors for Cabernet Sauvignon food pairing.

Mr Bread · « **Reply #217 on:** August 12, 2014, 12:31:29 PM »

Try Cabernet Sauvignon with a charred gruyere burger, a mushroom pizza with tomato sauce or some marinated ribeye steak. To champion the fruit flavors in Cabernet Sauvignon, don’t pair it with chocolate. Instead, pair wine with braised short ribs or mushroom stroganoff. The powerful umami flavors overcome the savory quality of Cabernet Sauvignon leaving the berry flavors out in the open to shine.

Researchers studying Cabernet Sauvignon in Canada discovered that wines made from vineyards infested with Asian ladybugs affect the flavor of the wine greatly. Ladybug taint occurs when ladybugs are inadvertedly added into the fermenting wines.

Mr Bread · « **Reply #219 on:** August 12, 2014, 12:33:18 PM »

Cabernet Sauvignon is actually a natural crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc that occured during in the 1600?s. Since then, it’s evolved to become what it is today. DNA testing at UC Davis discovered this relationship in 1996.

A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Old World is rare because Old World winemakers are awesome at blending varietals together. That said, Cabernet Sauvignon from Bordeaux tastes more like the herbal/floral flavors of graphite, violets and tobacco than fruit. When you smell a Bordeaux, you’ll often get hints of black cherries and licorice along with the earthiness. Imagine you’ve filled a new leather bag with a pound of black cherries and held it to your chest while rolling down a hill. Yum.

Oz Winery. My mom got me three different reds.

On one hand, it seems unfair to compare them against people who have been at it for a long time with far superior resources. On the other, they charge $20-25 per bottle.

Was it an infomercial for a wines of the month club? Kidding (sort of).

No, it was a documentary of sorts following 3 wine makers of different operation size for a year from planting to harvest/bottling. Pretty interesting. All of them were very excited about the 2012 vintage after a 3-5 year "depression".
