Drink This | B-Side Cabernet Sauvignon




I could drink the whole bottle.


Looking for a delicious red to go with your grilled meats this July 4th weekend? You need to buy B Side Cabernet. It's a delicious, inexpensive Cabernet Sauvignon made on the "flip side" of Napa Valley, away from the famous wineries on the west side of the valley, and it's a great buy for those in the know.

The winemakers, Don Sebastiani & Sons, state on their website: "Vines in these areas are grown in thin volcanic soils, which yield smaller, more concentrated fruit, producing Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignons with classic berry and cassis flavors."

And this Cab does have very rich, deep berry undertones. I tried a glass or two at a wine tasting at Strip, in Avon Lake, OH. I prefer dry red wines, and this one delivers, with hints of oak and smokiness brought on from aging over two years in French oak.

You can find it on Napacabs.com for $21.95, or hopefully at a restaurant near you!
