Hey everyone! With all the changes since September the Blog has been put on the back burner. We welcomed our second child in early September and have been adjusting to having two little ones around the house. My love of a good drink remains but those first few weeks were spent sleeping not catching up on a backlog of new wine and beer.

Due to the extra rugrat we are trying to eat in more often but still with style. Carm is in the process of trying out some entertaining recipes that we can throw parties with, so if your in the Long Beach area we hope to have you over to the house soon. To pair with the tasty experiment tonight we tried the Napa Family Vineyards (NFV) Cabernet Sauvignon.

| NFV Cabernet Sauvignon |
The NFV is the Cab counterpart to the Meritage I featured several weeks back. This Cab is a medal winner in its own right winning awards at the Critics Challenge Intl. Wine Competition 2011 and Los Angeles International Wine Competition, 2011. The NFV Cab is a young fruity Cabernet with a good nose and bright fruit flavors. It is a full bodied classic Napa Cab so it is intense with the taste of dark berries. Carm felt the alcohol content was a bit much but I thought it was tasty with that intensity. The price point is about the same as its brand mate around $10~ which is a good value for a wine this good.
