Wellness is a 2020 theme-and a permanent lifestyle.
Mindful healthy habits-permeate everything-(especially) what's eaten/sipped.
The SLOW FOOD and SLOW WINE designation-originated in Italy. It identifies and promotes organically grown-minimally or (arguably) completely non- processed food and wine -in several parts of the world-that 'capture' the originality, place and sense of history.
The SLOW movement -also underscores healthy farming practices aka "...respect for the land and environment..."

One of our favs...a terrific juicy (mostly) Cabernet Sauvignon blend from California's CAIN VINEYARD and WINERY.

| Spring Mountain District Cain Five 2014 -red blend combo of all five Bordeaux grapes- cab sauv, merlot, cab franc, petit-verdot malbec. Classic winemaking-elegant tasting made adhering to the motto "less is more." Terrific-with refreshing burst of berries, finessed tannins, and superb finish. Would not surprise us if this wasn't a 'fan fav' at the tasting. To purchase-join the wait list drirectly, purchase retail (for this vintage -we found it online ranging from $112-$125...or seek out in restaurants. Situated in one of Napa's acclaimed Mayacamas ridgetop estates -and the solo certified organic one there, Cain Vineyard is a couple started 550 acre vineyard-who oversaw planting the first Cabernet Sauvignon vines in 1981/82. |
