Happy 50th Post!

I wasn't actually drinking in celebration, but i really should have been! This is a bottle that would have been worthy of celebrating with, too!
You may remember that over labor day weekend, I drove out to Colorado with some awesome people and had a great time. One of the adventures i had there also included going to a free wine tasting at the Canyon Wind tasting room, right below the mountain pass we went up. The tasting room offered 4 free tastings, but as awesome people, we passed ours around, and pretty much ended up tasting everything they had to offer.
Sadly, i was too cheap to buy the almost 30 dollar bottle of my favorite there, one of the anemoi series, but this came in a close second. So for 20, i was sold.
Its a yummy Cabernet Franc, which i've never heard of before. I think i mentioned before how its a grape that is most commonly blended for other table wines. It has a nice bite, and a lot of flavor. Its flavorful without being overpowering and has a nice acidity. Yes, i do sound pretentious right now. I'll give it a 4.5/5 for flavor, but a 3/5 for value. This wine went way over my usual budget. I guess once in a while i can pretend i'm not a broke graduate student and drink good wine.
Happy 50th blog post! More to come i'm sure. Actually, i've got some in the fridge i should really talk about, but that's for another day.
Cheers!
