Intrinsic Cabernet Sauvignon
Another day, another “snow storm” in Georgia. In fairness, this one did a number on the
roads. (With less than an inch of
ice.) First rain, then change over to
light snow, then a drastic drop in temps.
It isn’t going above freezing today, which means all those roads are
going to remain ice and snow covered into tomorrow. (Have fun, friends with children, it’s going
to be another snow day!)
It took me forever to understand roads here in the
south. To my Northwest Ohio upbringing,
the idea that my entire county shut down over this is laughable. (Seriously, all Government offices –
closed. All grocery stores and malls –
closed. Heck, even the Mattress Firm
closed.)
Okay, so McDonald’s and the Liquor Store are open. I guess all college students will survive the
ice storm.
But I have a refrigerator stocked with an embarrassing
amount of cheese, a full wine refrigerator (with back up bottles on the shelf),
and a whole lot of novels I haven’t finished yet.
However, my husband might be more entertaining than a novel
today. He woke up not feeling well (it’s
flu season), so he’s camped out on the couch watching the first season of
“Dynasty” because “that’s what popped up on Amazon Prime.” Yes, folks, “Dynasty,” as in the nighttime
soap from the 1980’s. Not “Duck
Dynasty.” Not even the new remake. Actual, good, old-fashioned Dynasty about the
Carringtons.
I figured it was about time to pull out a bottle of wine.
This bottle was a gift twice over. The label is gorgeous. It comes out of the Columbia Valley. This winery has hands down, some of the most
beautiful labels I’ve ever seen.
Properly chilled, this wine smells like a leather shop. It’s solid, strong, and warming. (Despite the cold weather outside.)
The flavors are blueberry, cherry, and chocolate. It’s exquisite and spectacular.
Beautiful bottle aside, this is an awesome wine.
Now I’m going to pour myself a full glass and see how many
episodes of Dynasty he actually can get through.
