Queen of Hearts

Lucas & Lewellen vineyards presents the Queen of Hearts. She is a naturally corked cabernet sauvignon. Tonight it's an after dinner wine. We cooked a whole chicken by slathering her down with butter and sprinkling her inside & out with salt, pepper, basil & oregano. Add a quartered lemon to the inside after squeezing one of the quarters all over the bird. Sorry folks, no photo today. Just know that this was the best damn bird we've ever seen or tasted. This mostly dry and less fruity wine is about to be savored. And yes, sweetie told me that I was her queen. 5 stars because we're officially on vacation - again.

By the way - Hey cousin, do you want a glass?

Black Opal

Black Opal Cabernet Sauvignon. Did I mention..you guessed it - Australian! Sweetie likes this one a lot. They claim to be the Australian Gem. Find out for yourself. I dig.

Little Boomey


Little Boomey Cabernet Sauvignon. Again, the Australians know what they're doing. Have I stressed this enough? Paired with my sweetie. Life is good. Cutsie label eh?
