Cypress Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
This wine is made by South Dakota native & SDSU alumnus Jerry Lohr of J. Lohr Winery in San Jose, California. The 2007 Cypress Vineyards Cabernet is a very dark purple in color with youthful red hues. The wine has an attractive mix of jammy red fruits, black cherries, black currants, violets and spicy cigar box oak aromas. The palate is very plump and rich with a mouthful of varietal Cabernet fruitiness from start to finish. A Cabernet serious enough for the connoisseur, yet quaffable for anyone who enjoys a good glass of red wine, the 2007 Cypress Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon would be the perfect pairing for a roasted leg of lamb, or osso bucco. This wine should be enjoyed in its youth or cellared up to five years. My tasting notes: Med-bodied, with a smooth finish.
Michelob AmberBock
This is a very drinkable beer from Anheuser-Bush, Inc. The Smoothness, deep-dark color and a roasted malt taste that finishes clean are the hallmarks of this distinctive brew. Brewed using 100-percent malt—including dark-roasted black and caramel malts and all-imported hops—Michelob AmberBock has a unique, rich amber color and smooth, full-bodied taste. This beer is part of the Hy-Vee Seasons Ad that runs until the Oct. 28th making it a great time to give it a try.
Spirit of the Week
Cruzan rum cream
Rum cream is made of fresh dairy cream and Cruzan aged Light Rum, giving a smooth, clean and aromatic cream rum liqueur. The taste is rich, but light, with caramel, vanilla and other flavors and is best served as a cordial, over ice or mixed in hot and cold drinks. I thought this was very smooth and similar to an Irish cream in flavor and texture.
