date: Nov 8
drink: Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon
what: Sunday night dinner/budget wine testing
J and i have a wine habit, in case you havent noticed. However, with the recent economic distruction of NYC and, therefore, our personal fortunes, we needed to come up with some sort of 'every day' wine - something not special (like the biltmore wines) nor fancy. Something appropriate for a sunday spent cleaning and unpacking (you know, 6 months later) - and who wants to waste fancy wine on unshowered, messy-ness?
Last week we bought 2 of these - one didnt even make the blog as it will not be part of project wedding, i dont think - that was the snapdragon cabernet. a $13 bottle that i picked purely based on its name... we also noticed the ravenswood on our way to the register - an $11 bottle - and figured what the heck? I knew i'd heard of ravenswood but couldnt remember what, exactly, i knew about it but for $11, was worth the experiment.
I think its safe to say that not only will it become one of our standard bottles but it may even be on the short list for wines to serve at the wedding :)
