Wine Tip

I know - strange for a retired alky to be suggesting a drink nevermind something in particular...but hey! that's just the kind of guy I am..... still trying to share the good stuff even if it isn't good for me.

The wines are probably labelled differently in different countries so I won't name them but a couple have been recommended to Lynda lately that she went ahead and bought. Both of them are blended wines; one was Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the other a Cabernet with Shiraz. They are a dense, rich red with a terrific 'nose' to them. On both occasions when Lynda poured a glass she told me I had to have a whiff of them. They smell glorious!! I could get into a pack of trouble with these, I tell ya, but of course I'd need a 5 gallon pail to start with. Lynda says they pack quite a punch though; that she can feel the effects after just a glass.

One brand was from South Africa; the other from Australia. Have an eye!! The nose knows!
