I did something I never thought I'd do again. There is this wine shop right by the H&H Bagels that I have avoided for over a year. Basically it's a family owned booze store and because I chatted up the eldest son at the place one time, he started asking my former roommate about me. It was just uncomfortable and I would just avoid looking into the place whenever I'd walk by it.
However, the other day I was running around. All I wanted was a nice bottle of red now that the weather is getting chillier. So I took the plunge and I walked into the store. I think since the father of the family was working at the store today, the son didn't catch me up. Anyways enough back story...
I decided to try a cab sauv from a California Winery, Cannonball. Now normally whenever I read the back of the label, I'm like I can't taste the chocolate you're talking about. With this bottle, I could totally taste the chocolate, as well as the hints of oak and strong berry flavors. It was bold, intense and went down smoothly. And with 13.7% alcohol by volume, you just might feel like doing a cannonball into a pool or lake.
