In Santa Rosa there is a great warehouse of wine, Bottle Barn. Voted top wine shop in SR by the local paper. I first had the Columbia Crest second label, Two Vines, from them. Nice Cabernet. But Safeway is currently having a sale on wines and you can get this nice Cabernet for less than $6.00 a bottle if you buy six or more. Honestly, this is a wine you can hide in your wine closet and when you have peeps over, and they have already plowed through your $30 - $50 bottles of wine, you can pull this out and not be embarrassed. It is better than average. For the price, it is very nice. I have had a couple of bottles of this and still like it a lot. The one I have now is 2009 but I kinda think they are all good. Check it out.
If you are a whiskey drinker, and like rye, I had a taste of this at Gabe's this past week and it is a winner. It tastes like autumn. It tastes warm and inviting, almost like it has some spice in it (but it doesn't, of course) and on a rainy day it makes you want to sip it and stare out the window at the rain. It's called High West Whiskey, Double Rye. If you like that sort of thing, you will like this sort of rye.
cheers.
