BISHOP'S PEAK- ROCK SOLID RED- 2004 PASO ROBLES CABERNET/SYRAH $8.99
Most grocery stores with wine will have this.
I'm eating a roasted Half Chicken from Versailles Cuban Restaurant and enjoying a glass of this wine, and I really don't want to think about it or write about it. I just want to enjoy my dinner and this lovely wine... But there you are- whoever you are- mom and dad, brother and sister, estranged uncle (who I love)- AND I just can't help myself from sharing this wine with you... It really is a tasty and satisfying wine for so little money...
I read about BISHOP'S PEAK on WINE SPECTATOR'S California Cabernet Value list... I am aware of how uncool some people think Wine Spectator is, with its advertisments dressed up as articles, and all that, but that rag has been a source of inspiration and education to me... (And with that little pitch maybe they'll send me some wine... Maybe a toaster...) The BISHOP'S PEAK is on Oprah's wine list, too... Yes, Oprah really does have a value wine list- unless I dreamt it... But I'm sure I didn't...
Anyway, this silky smooth California blend is BRIMMING with Cabernet and new world Syrah flavor. It's perfect for autumn nights, Thanksgiving festivities, a Netflix dinner, or simply drinking yourself to sleep... Seriously though, this tasty red sources California grapes from Paso Robles and ages the stew in American Oak Barrels... Not bad for such value... You should be so lucky... And you are...
For those of you looking for suggestions- this full bodied red under $10 won't let you down... It's definitely more tasty than interesting, but that's just fine...

I'm having a bite of this chicken- so roasted you can literally eat the bones- and they're good.
Followed by a sip...
Bones and red wine... That's old world flavor... Old as the hills...
Who cares what fruits and other oddities this wine makes me think of- try it yourself and tell me what you see, think, feel, and of course, taste...
Have a lovely night and remember to have a glass a day... Especially in these economic times...
