People absolutely LOVE really big wine. Wine that stains the teeth, enough alcohol to run your hybrid and thick jammy fruit. Well, we decided to go out and find some of the absolute biggest flavored wines that exist on the planet. Big Grenache from Spain, gigantic Cabernet from Napa, and even some monster Merlot from powerhouse Plumpjack. There are some wine writers that would describe these wines as "Hedonistic Thermonuclear Fruit Bombs" and that is exactly what these are...heck, one of these wines was recently described by one of the most powerful wine writers in the world as "a modern day legend in the making"!

Sooo - if you are looking to enjoy some really amazing wine this weekend, here are a few of the gems that we will have on the machine on Saturday...several of these definitely qualify in the "cult" wine category:


2008 Dunn "Howell Mountain" Cabernet
2009 Owen Roe Yakima Valley Red Wine
2010 Mollydooker "The Boxer"
2007 Las Flors de La Peira
2004 Bodegas Mas Alta "Artigas"
2009 Klinker Brick "Old Ghost" Zinfandel
2008 Retro Petite Sirah
2009 Plumpjack Merlot


So, call your best friends, draw straws to see who's going to be the D.D. and bring everyone to the tasting!  The wines are going to be AMAZING!!!
