Since N is in Florida and the kids are in bed, how better to spend my Saturday night than reviewing wine? I haven’t done that in a while anyway, because even though grad school has not slowed my wine consumption considerably, it has slowed the frequency with which I post here. Which is devastating to everyone, I am quite sure. But moving on…Lucky Duck Cabernet Sauvignon out of Chile:
When I first opened the (cute!) bottle I was wary, because ew. But all reds have a pungent odor so I poured a glass anyway. And as I expected, after a little time to aerate the aroma improved considerably. Not bad – I’ve finally developed a taste for reds and in my opinion cabernet sauvignons are a little milder than others. Most reds do go down smoother with a nice plate of rich pasta, but this one isn’t bad solo either.
Final verdict? A little drier than I tend to prefer, but considering it’s a bottle I picked up for $6 simply because I liked the label – I give it a thumbs up. Six stars out of 10.
