the WINE list

I would recommend getting the "Kenwood" Russian River Valley Pinot first ($15-$18) and if you like that then try and get the Black Kite for $45.

If you don't have a similar preference as me, its better you find that out on a cheaper wine rather than a pricier one.

Frei Brothers Pinot Noir ($23)........

Two Thumbs DOWN

Try Sebastiani Merlot.....about $18.
Full bodied, just excellent.

Nice, I will give it a try.

A bit more pricey ($25) but really good as well is the Clos Du Val Merlot. Its actually like 83% Merlot, 11% Cabernet and the rest Cab Franc. Really full bodied, like a Cab. Good wine IMO.

Had this once in Vegas, Beer that tastes more like wine (tawny port) than beer.

For the everyday bottle try the Ferrari Carano : Sienna Blend. Costco/Sam's Club has it for about $20.00. Stuff is liquid pantie remover

I had a glass of that Utopia beer too a couple years back, def more like a cognac than anything resembling a beer.

LoL "liquid panty remover"

Any recommendations in a Cabernet ?

 

[R. Raskolnikov]

what price range are you looking for?

Rudy for $25 is very nice
Ramey is also very good but in the $40+

I haven't tried these but supposedly they are excellent....Kelly Fleming (Cab) and Cliff Lede (Cab)

Stay away from Silver Oak, one of the most overrated and overpriced wineries out there.
