Now, this wine was very very nice, could taste the oak/spice taste of a Merlot. (I hope that'd be correct) One year, my stepmom got extra gift cards for purchasing large orders, so, she gave me some. I had about $150, and was in Houston. Went to this Papa Brothers Steak House with my fiance. The food alone for the 2 of us was probably around 60-80. I got a glass of this wine, only $13/glass. Well, I used some gift cards for the grocery store to buy a bottle of this win (back in 2004) for about $45. Had it about 2-3 years before opening it and drinking it. Very nice. So, if you can find some in Ca cheaper, send it to me.
