Our Favorite Cab

I really enjoy and admire the folks at The Wine Stalker and The Reverse Wine Snob for their focus on finding quality wines at a value price.  I was fortunate enough to work for a master of wine who shared in the belief that one can find good wine without necessarily spending a lot of money.

That's what makes Louis M. Martinin cabernet sauvignon one of our favorites.  At less than $20/bottle you get a lot of quality for not a lot of money.


The wine is easy to drink and I find it works well with the usual mix of steak or other red meats.  The wine can also be enjoyed with appetizers / snacks (on this occasion we were snacking on Buffalo Chicken dip) or works fine all by itself.  I definitely would recommend giving it a try and let us know your thoughts http://www.flyfishingsimplified.com/#!contact/cyha

Bogle 2012 Zinfandel with Shrimp over Angel Hair Pasta in a Vodka Sauce = Delicious

It seems we had a very successful pairing of this zin and a pasta dish that was just a bit on the spicy side.  If we had made the shrimp and pasta in a garlic butter we would have gone with an Albarino but in this case the spicy zip of the vodka sauce was nicely complimented with the peppery flavor of the Zin.



At less than $20 a bottle (and bear in mind I live in PA - which has some of the most expensive prices) this is definitely a good value wine.

If you get a chance to try it or have tried it let us know what you think.  http://www.flyfishingsimplified.com/#!contact/cyha
