It is a steaming hot Wednesday evening in Michigan. The temperature outside is in the high 80′s (although in the sun, our temperature says 114-degrees). It is beautiful, though. Green & lush. . .
Tom chose this California Cabernet for our dinner tonight — I think because it is midweek and so we are having an everyday type of wine. He purchased two of these bottles for $10 at our local grocery store and we both are enjoying it (I believe this is our second bottle and I had blogged about it previously). The taste is overwhelmingly blackberries along with some earthy flavors (I’m thinking rich, black dirt). This is definitely a fruit-bomb kind of wine.
Tonight we will grill some burgers, which I have stuffed with bleu cheese and cracked pepper. I have also harvested some fresh lettuce and green onions from the garden and I will make a salad. (As I write this, I am wondering if Tammy will read this and take my recommendation for her celebratory trip to Niagara Falls. . . you go, girl!)
This wine is perfect for a mid-week meal of grilled burgers and salad. Cheers!
