Happy National Red Wine Day! Today ushers in the flavors of fall…. unless you live in Florida. Here we just turn our air conditioners on high and pretend it’s fall. If the temperature drops in the 70’s at any point, we break out the UGG boots and Parkas! (You think I am kidding)

This time of year means the grapes are ripening and it is time to break out the reds.

One of my personal favorites is FreeMark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon. I actually discovered this wine in the Bahamas. I tried it by the glass and loved it. At dinner that night I ordered a bottle. The funny part was a glass was $20 (a little high over there) a bottle was $90? I tried to explain to the server that this did not make sense. Finally we ordered 4 glasses at $80 from a new bottle 🙂

This Cab is a dark ruby color. It has notes of blackberry, dark cherry and cinnamon. (These are my tasting notes) For more information on this wine and their full offerings, go to http://www.Freemarkabbey.com
