Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon is dark plum red in color with a nose of black currant, plum, earth and spice. Medium-full in body, it is dry with moderate acidity and soft, ripe tannins. It offers rich, intense flavors of plums, black currant and toasty oak. Well balanced to enjoy now and over the next 5-6 years, it has a long and smooth finish.

I love wine label ad copy.

And I love the reviews.

Because nobody really has a fucking clue.


Rating: 4 stars
Recommendation: Recommend

Comments/Food Pairings: Smooth Finish! This is my favorite Cabernet of all-time. There is a wonderful berry flavor throughout and the smoothest finish - no bite at all.Highly recommend!

Comments/Food Pairings: Another winner! We had this last night and boy where we surprised. This is a wine that I'd gladly pay twice the price. Full bodied, deep, lush fruit flavor, good finish.

Those of us in California know the satisfaction and deep pleasure culled from the Beef Burrito. But what to drink with this savory behemoth? This value-priced Cab from South Africa, of course! Blackish plum in color. Nose redolent of ripe blackcurrant and plumy fruit. Toasty oak aromas and sweet fruit flavors are balanced by soft, ripe tannins. Good structure with soft, clean finish. According to the Wine Spectator: "Forward, soft and grapey, with a round, easy finish. Dash of tannins keeps it honest. Drink now."

Tasting Notes:
They Say: We found some tasting notes that describe Excelsior Cabernet as "dark plum red in color with a nose of black currant, plum, earth and spice. Medium-full in body, it is dry with moderate acidity and soft, ripe tannins. It offers rich, intense flavors of plums, black currant and toasty oak."

We Say: After the requisite calls of "Excelsior" from our nerdy brethren at game night (y'know, from when Bart joins the nerd club) we sat down to sipping. We all were struck by how the high alcohol content came through in the nose, followed by plum and berries. The initial taste was a tart plum, with berries and cherries and a slightly bitter finish. After it sat in the glass for a few minutes it definitely mellowed out and lost the bitterness, replacing it with a smokey flavor that impressed us.

That'd be a great gig I think, writing wine label copy.

Hey....that line you use...... You know there are four words I need to hear before I go to sleep. Four little words. "Good night sweet girl." That's all it takes. I'm easy, I know, but a guy who can muster up those four words is a guy I want to stay with ... ....it was on late New Year's Eve and I'm watching the movie (never having seen it before) thinking about how someone with a mishapen face and no acting skills (Matt Dillon) managed to make a living in the 80's, when all of a sudden Uma Thurman delivers the line standing outside next to the truck.

And of course, I thought of you immediately.

Of course you did.


It's a terrible movie I know, but I adore it. And we just happen to love all those same things, Van Morrison. Icy cold, martini, sunday news paper .. bla bla bla ... you know the rest.

wine reviews sound like pussy reviews.

Just sayin'.

Uh, dude? This is what we're drinking tonight:

A southern Oregon medium body varietal displaying aromas of blackberry and chocolate. Distinctive flavors of currant, black cherry and chocolate supplemented by black pepper and medium silky tannins. Aged in French oak for 12 months. Our wine pairs well with dark chocolate, beef dishes and blue cheese.

Well, maybe a little like pussy I guess. "Beef dishes." *snicker*

It's Mia Sonatina, a cabernet franc by Ellis Vineyards in Rogue Valley.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

Oh, you want to play?

I'm too tired tonight. But by all means, blow it up, as big as you like.

 

[Pseudomoniker]

Any woman who can spend a year in a French oak has got to be a nymph....-o.

I'm a big fan of women who go well with dark chocolate and blue cheese.

MD 20/20
18% or 13% alc. by vol.

As majestic as the cascading waters of a drain pipe, MD 20/20 is bottled by the 20/20 wine company in Westfield, New York. This is a good place to start for the street wine rookie, but beware; this dog has a bite to back up its bark. MD Stands for Mogen David, and is affectionately called "Mad Dog 20/20". You'll find this beverage as often in a bum's nest as in the rock quarry where the high school kids sneak off to drink. This beverage is likely the most consumed by non-bums, but that doesn't stop any bums from drinking it! Our research indicates that MD 20/20 is the best of the bum wines at making you feel warm inside. Some test subjects report a slight numbing agent in MD 20/20, similar to the banana paste that the dentist puts in your mouth before injecting it with novocain. Anyone that can afford a dentist should steer clear of this disaster. Avaliable in various nauseating tropical flavors that coat your whole system like bathtub scum, but only the full "Red Grape Wine" flavor packs the 18% whallop.

Liquor stores are starting to be infiltrated by a 13% variety of MD 20/20 Red Grape. There is also a new "Blue Raspberry" flavor with "BLING BLING". Even the lowest functioning of bums will know not to get swindled out of 5%.
