Michael David Winery
Freakshow The Strongest Man on Earth Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon
I thoroughly enjoy this wine, as do those to whom I have served it. Smooth, deep flavors. In some ways it drinks like a Zin. Works on its own, with light fare, or with a hearty dish. Although it is a great value, I’d gladly pay more for this. I’ve paid more for cabs that are not nearly as good. — 4 years ago

Nicole Marie Napa Valley Merlot Blend
Love this red blend. I only wish it was a little more robust. It’s a go to wine on weekends. I try other things and keep coming back to this. — 5 years ago
Joel Gott Wines
California Zinfandel
I like Joel Gott Cabs, but this Zin was a disappointment. Too light. Nothing distinctive. Hate to say it because I really like the other Gott wines that I’ve had. — 9 months ago
L'Ecole No. 41
Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Not for me. Far too tannic. I prefer a smooth, full cab. This is not it. — 4 years ago
J. Lohr
Seven Oaks Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
I keep coming back to this after trying other modestly priced cabs. It’s good with food or on its own. Smooth, nice hints of fruit and great for casual drinking. My wife is happy to sip this with me even though she’s normally a red wine drinker. — 4 years ago
Baroni Capoano
Torre Aragonese Cirò Rosso Classico Riserva Gaglioppo
This exceeded my expectations. It was a bit light but worked well with pasta dishes. I might might drink it alone, but it paired nicely with our food — a year ago

Freakshow The Strongest Man on Earth Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon
Our “go to” reliable cab. Smooth, full. Great by itself or with many foods. “Complex” it is not. It is simply very good. — 3 years ago
Daou Vineyards
Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon
We really enjoyed this on a casual Friday evening. Let it open. The wine evolved nicely. Very smooth. Consistent hints of cherries but not a fruit bomb. We’re likely to get this again. — 5 years ago
Francis Ford Coppola Winery
Rosso & Bianco California Shiraz
This is a very nice wine coupled with food or just for sipping. For my taste it's better than the Coppola rosso of the same label. This Shiraz is tannic with nice berry flavors I'll be getting it again. — 5 years ago
John Nader
A really nice red blend. A great "go to" especially as the weather warms. Nice for grilled meats outdoors or charcuterie. It's an unusual blend with real depth. — 2 days ago
