Hess Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 (though I had the 2007)
I wasn’t looking for anything special last night. I just wanted an easy glass of wine to go along with my ratatouille leftovers… I know, I’m so fancy. Saw this bottle on the counter and basically said to myself, “As long as this wine is still good? (as in, hasn’t turned to vinegar), I’ll be happy.” The wine isn’t something I would have picked up on my own– nothing special about it- no fancy label (yes I pick wines that way… all the time), not an interesting varietal; ostensibly, the Hess Cabernet Sauvignon was just a red labeled Cabernet Sauvignon. But it was surprisingly satisfying for my low key, movie night mood.
