I tried this Chilean Cabernet recently. $12 , went back to buy some more but they were sold out. Smooth and Fruity is how I would describe it.

Root:1 Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 Wine Review (NW)

Big nose of blackberries and herbs
Smooth palate
Nice finish with toasty vanilla and moderately smooth tannins

This is a round, fruity wine that's very much in the modern-style of winemaking. At $10, it's a good buy. I was actually surprised by it, not expecting much at all. It's really a well-made wine and should be enjoyed when you're in the mood for a good "new world" Cab (in this case, South American). Raise a glass!

For no reason at all on a Saturday: my favorite quote on Champagne...

I have it in a sterling frame on my little wine bar at home

On Champagne

"I drink it when I'm happy and when I'm sad.
Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone.
When I have company I consider it obligatory.
I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and I drink it when I am.
Otherwise I never touch it, unless I'm thirsty."

Lily Bollinger

Many of the great champagne houses have been run by women at some point in their history. Veuve, Bollinger are two premier examples. Salud. Money Penny
