Tom and Melody’s wine blog

I purchased this wine on the recommendation of my new wine consultant from a wine club to which we belong! Nice job, Cathy!! This Crios De Susana Balbo Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 from Mendoza, Argentina is fabulous. As soon as I poured the wine into my glass, I knew it was going to be wonderful. The nose is pine needles and spice. The palate shows richly-textured plum flavors with undertones of dark chocolate and some vanilla-scented oak. The silky tannins give the wine beautiful structure and an amazingly long finish.

It is Sunday evening and I have a loaf of whole-wheat bread rising on the counter and a pot of chili on the stove. I made my chili with ground beef, onions, garlic, and lots of beans, tomatoes, and spices. It smells very good.

We had an active day with quite a bit of time outside working in the yard. Tomorrow is back to work so we are relishing our evening.

If anyone wants a good wine consultant, let me know! I’ll pass along Cathy’s name and email address.
