I bought two bottles of this Lindemans South Africa Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 today at the local grocery store because it was on sale. A good choice! The nose is fresh and lively and the taste is bursting with berries. This is a delicious “drink now” wine that requires no cellaring. The taste is fruity and friendly and, as my brother-in-law Bob says, “it drinks good.” The predominant taste is strawberry and the finish is velvety smooth.
I taught a class this weekend (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) so I did not get my normal down time this weekend. And, it is back to work tomorrow. At least I have this evening to unwind and rest my brain.
I was in the mood for a good home-cooked meal so I stopped at the grocery store on the way home from teaching and purchased ground beef, pork and veal. I mixed up two meatloaves and put one in the oven and one in the freezer. It smells good. Just what we need after a long weekend of work! For my meatloaf, I add oatmeal, milk, eggs, onions, spicy mustard and tomato juice (and lots of pepper). Delish!

Just wanted to share… this is one of our favorites! We have only had it once when we received it as a gift – our friends knew we love the Bin 45 Australian Cab and others in their Austrailian line. They suggested we try this that they got for their restaurant in Ruidoso, NM.
We cant seem to find it inour local stores… so we are going to have to talk to a couple of our stores to see if they will get some!
I have enjoyed reading about some of your favorite wines!!!

Thank you so much, Alison. I sure hope you can find the Lindemans South African wine. Are you in New Mexico?
Please continue to send us your comments; we value them very much!

We also enjoy this wine. Message to Allison above, what is the name of your friends’ restaurant in Ruidoso, NM? We have had a mountain home there since 1999 – love it there!
