Wine Wednesday
So this is the first of a new series of post that we have decided to start where we review the different wines that we try and even the different vineyards we go to. We hope that you enjoy this series and we look forward to hearing what wines you like.
Our first wine is going to be the first of a group of wines from the Fetzer vineyard, check out their website for each different wine they have recipes to go with, and do not be surprised if you see traces of some of them here. Our first wine in the Fetzer Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine has a particular special meaning to me as it is the wine that my matron of honour bought for the bachelorette party. Everyone loved it. It actually became many girls favorite wine. I have see two different years, 2006 and 2009. The 2009 is easier to find but I personally like the 2006 better, to me it has more body and flavor.
Flavors: black cherry (this is the reason that it was originally chosen), chocolate and as smooth as velvet
Aromas: vanilla and spice
Parings: Dark chocolate (you will think you died and went to heaven with this combo), strawberries. You can also be pair it with any red meat or pasta but I personally do not think this is the best option. To me this is a great wine to drink with dessert or socially. To pair with the main course of a meal does not allow for all the flavors to come out to their full potential.
Price: $8
Rating: For the yumminess of this wine compared to the price I would have to give this wine 9 out of 10 wine glasses.
