Drink This Not That: 2010 Liberte Cabernet Sauvignon

Liberte! Fraternite! Egalite!

It's the French national motto. Luckily, there's a vineyard in Paso Robles, California who let freedom ring to create this delicious Cabernet Sauvignon. And you don't need a passport to get a taste.

It's rich, fruity, balanced and went perfectly well with the roasted lemon chicken I had for dinner. It's not as well developed as other wines I've tasted, but it pretty good.

At $10 from Trader Joe's, you need to get your hand on this and get your locavore on.

Here are the details:

YES
Liberte Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc, 2010 from Paso Robles is worth the $10 especially if your meal has a fruit element. I'm thinking a duck with a cherry sauce. Hmmm...cherry sauce.

NO
If you go to weekly meetings where everyone only knows you by your first name and you're barely on step 1. This is not for you.

MAYBE
You're a dedicated white wine person or prefer beer to wine. I feel you brother. I have my moments. But at least you have another bottle you can use to commiserate with a sommelier--those guys at restaurants who try to talk you into the $500 bottles of wine.

Cheers!
