Melody is out of town and I don’t want her to miss any of the wines we recently picked up (although I did decide to try Three Buck Chuck on my own…). So I picked up a bottle of Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 from Chile.
We’ve had this before and I think it’s excellent. Rich, tannic, and chocolaty, and not a false note in it. This is a wine worth getting a case of.
(Speaking of South America, we’ve heard from Tony and George: they are safe, they enjoyed Lima, Peru, and they are now in the Peruvian countryside for a while before making their way back to Lima and flying to Buenos Aires.)

I also love the Casillero del Diablo wine. I enjoy the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon which I usually buy from Giant Eagle for about $11.99. I am in the market for a case of this wine online, however, I can’t find a place that sells a case for a decent price. You have more experience, maybe you could help. Thank you,

Ryan, That’s a very good question. We usually purchase this wine at our local grocery store. Have you tried one of the big warehouse stores, such as Sam’s Club?
