Come on over. We found this in Tennessee! It does say St. Louis Missouri in the fine print on the label, though. Good ole InBev. But it is a good beer.

Popped the cork on my 1st of (2) 2014 Intrinsic Cab Sauv wines from the CV........



Very interesting wine. Heavily extracted for sure. Lots of dark color in the glass and a nice bouquet but that's where it stops sadly. Not a whole lot of mouthfeel or much of a finish. Good wine to take to a holiday get together but not memorable by any means and at ~$19 a bottle not a fantastic QPR but just OK. YMMV.

I thought it was very good and a good value back in those days. I've tried some of the more recent vintages and don't think it's worth the price of admission. Certainly a worthy wine, but there are better bottles from that area in that price range.

I bought based on this review. Perhaps held it a tad too long but just wasn't my cup of tea tonight. Again not bad just a little disjointed in the end. Have not picked up any since this vintage but the others all seem to be getting 90pts WE at least.

Winter prep work on the farm just concluded and so a nice Nashville Brewing Co. Lager hits the spot.

My recently bottled 2019 Touriga Nacional. A field blend of 5 lugs TN and 1 lug Tempranillo. I'm digging it!

This is the best you're going to get. I'm not getting up until this glass is empty.

Does not suck, needs some aeration.

You're trending toward the sweet, 'fake' reds, @geek. We're going to have to reel you in.

Lol
It’s not sweet, but not really dry either

I tried this wine and agree with the above review. It definitely tastes sweet. 16 grams sugar per liter means each bottle has 12 grams. I like his description as California Yellowtail. LOL.

I really liked all of these and wanted to share the blend proportions and varietals.

The middle is my favorite.

Interesting find for today. Cheaper than a Coravin for sure for the unusual times you have a half drunk bottle of wine.
