On a recent weekend, Mrs. Vino and I stole away for a visit to some Massachusetts wineries. (Our dedication knows no bounds!) That evening we weren't interested in lots of wine, so we ordered glasses and Mrs. Vino chose the parellell 39 Cabernet. She liked it immediately and tonight we tried our own bottle at home. Apparently some of the best wines in the world come from wineries along the 39th parallel. This wine comes from Lake County which is just north of Napa. Lots of flavor and very fruit forward. Mrs. Vino dug deep and noted that it was like a fig newton - which was accurate both in flavor and texture. I see other web wine reviewers saying it is a summer sipper - so maybe we've picked the right summer night to open this one - because it is 85 degrees - and we've got it chilled a bit! Look for it before the summer ends! I think you'll find it and be pleased with the wine - and it's value, of course!
