Rodney Strong Vineyards
Alexander's Crown Cabernet Sauvignon
The Meatball Shop is a wonder. Check various options on a laminate menu with a dry marker and 15 minutes later you'll be presented with a "kitchen sink" of market vegetables, a soft poached egg, and a trio of delicious meaty spheres. I brought along this Sonoma Cab ($15 corkage). Rich, dark, powerful, somewhat jammy but it sustains well. The perfect pairing with the juicy, fatty meatballs.

Dec 3rd, 2019Surprisingly complex. Excellent with Lindt chili & dark chocolate. Berry forward with multiple layers of evaporating flavors. Darker notes of licorice and smoke balance against fronts and mids of crushed violets and bergamot. Enjoy!
