Go Take a Cab!

February 23, 2008 · WCC Administr@tr · Leave a Comment

Tonight was another Wine & Dine event where the dinner theme was Italian inspired dishes to pair with Cabernet Sauvignons.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a variety of red grape that grows in almost every wine growing country. If current trends continue, it may soon be the most planted grape variety. Many of the famous wines of France’s Bordeaux region are based on Cabernet Sauvignon. California is definitely Cabernet country (some of California’s Napa Valley Cabs have been awarded top honors – even bt the French). Chile and Australia are particularly well-known for great Cabs, and South Africa is up there too. Believe it or not, even China produces Cab!

Here is a pic of the wines we offered for our tasting:event_3378321-3511625
