Today’s Cabernet

Tonight’s blog was fueled by a glass of 2000 Merryvale Clone Six Cabernet Sauvignon from Beckstoffer Vineyards in Napa Valley. I joined this wine club while visiting wine country last fall. It’s a real treat to receive quarterly shipments of wonderful wine that I can’t find in Idaho. The Merryvale wine is always superb, and I’ve never been disappointed. And, the UPS guy is always so polite. He still asks for my signature to prove I’m at least 21. What a great guy!This recent shipment came with a note stating the wine would age well for several years. Yeah, right. It won’t see 2009.
