Today’s Cabernet

For the perfect way to celebrate a fresh year with unlimited potential and nowhere to go but up, try 2006 Cakebread Cellars Rubaiyat red wine from Napa Valley. Cakebread is one of my favorite wineries and the wine is worth donating a sliver of kidney to get. It’s about $32 a bottle and will make you want to get a second job to have the $100 bottle of Cakebread Cabernet. Rubaiyat was named for a verse from Omar Khayyam’s poem: A book of verses underneath the bough,A jug of wine, a loaf of bread -and thou beside meSinging in the wilderness -Oh, wilderness were paradise, enough!
