My husband and I have this running “challenge.” He’s a bit of a wine snob and I’d prefer not to spend way beyond $10 for a bottle. Maybe $15. I had one particular favorite that was right around $15 but now has shot up to $25 or more. Sigh. I’ll tell you that name anyway because it is a favorite: Beringer’s Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2016 if you can find it. Knights Valley is in Sonoma County in California.
But for a good wine with some slight sweetness and right around that magical $10 mark, try Apothic Red. It was recommended to me by one of the vendors at the store and it didn’t disappoint. Apothic red is a blend of zinfandel, merlot, syrah, and cabernet sauvignon. The “dark” version
Hubby thought it was a little too sweet, so next time we’re trying the Apothic Dark which is supposed to be a much darker and more intense flavored wine. It originally was a limited release, but now it’s available all year long. There is also and Apothic Rose and an Apothic Inferno which is a red wine aged for 60 days in whiskey barrels. For more info on the Apothic wines, you can visit www.apothic.com.
What could be better than a little wine, nice loaf of bread and cheese while chilling with your loved one?
