DAD'S DAY OFF
This wine (with a sentiment Dad will appreciate) shows dried black cherry aromas accented with spicy notes of clove and a hint of sweet tobacco. Quite fruity and surprisingly luscious on the palate with velvety smooth tannins and a slightly earthy finish. At around $12 a bottle, the price is nice, too! Can be purchased locally at Hausfrau Haven.
JAQK High Roller
Our friends at Wine On High (formerly Vino 100) have told us that this is the most beautifully crafted wine bottle they have ever seen! And they have seen A LOT of wine bottles! Dad will love this Cabernet Sauvignon made from 100% Napa Valley grapes. The grapes are harvested by hand allowing the winemaker absolute control during the crushing and fermentation process. Aged for 2-years in french oak barrels, this wine is perfect for the wine-savvy and high-rolling Dad! At around $70 it makes a lovely addition to any wine collection. The poker chip detail is cool too.
J.R. Carter Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine-maker is a friend of ours and he is a guy's guy and makes his wine drinkable for all, but especially tasty for men with good palates who want something delicious but not fussy. Your dad will appreciate this wine as much as we do (probably more so since we tend to drink only sauvignon blanc!). J.R. Carter Wine Cellars produces only a small amount yearly and with a 93 point rating from Wine Spectator, your dad will be glad to have this in his arsenal of fine wines. $80 per bottle.
And of course, if Dad's not a wine drinker there is always the king of beers!
Happy Father's Day to my dad, Gary Mellen and all the wonderful dad's out there. xoxo
