Wine for the Weekend of 9/27/19

Your favorite wine variety (e.g.-Cabernet Sauvignon) with the most boring, plain and simple label that you can find is the wine for the weekend of 9/27/19. Don’t buy any fancy names or pictures. This includes gimmicks like 19 Crimes and silly names like Barefoot, Skinny Girl, White Girl, Layer Cake, etc. No offense to Layer Cake lovers, but I had some of their Cabernet Sauvignon recently. It had a nice aroma, but it died on my tongue. There is some really good Cabernet out there, as well as all the other varieties. So let’s try one this weekend! I will give you some examples.

Examples for the Wine of the Weekend of 9/27/19

First, you can go to my post called wine shopping list for an easy to use guide when you get to the liquor store. I will leave a link to that at the end of this post. It’s a nice cheat sheet designed to help you make quality choices when you buy wine. Skip all those wines on the end caps. They are unreliable. If you like Cabernet Sauvignon, then go to that section. If you like Italian wines, go to the Italian section. Here’s a reasonably priced excellent Cabernet by Louis Martini’s Napa label. Plus , I will give you some more plain labels. You don’t have to buy these. But, buy something boring!

I think you get the idea. Please let me know how this experiment works out for you. You have to spend more than $10 per bottle to buy decent wine. I like to use $15 as a guide for most wines. Happy hunting!
