Re: Nice Wines I have DranK Recently - Red or White
At the weekend we had a number of good wines.
The most interesting was the 2005 Chain of Ponds "The Cachet" blend (Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Merlot). Having not tried this before I was a little sceptical, but Halliday thought it was reasonable. I asked room service to find a decanter for me to borrow in the afternoon, and we had a little taste and decanted the bottle just before going out for dinner. Upon our return the wine was ready to drink and went down quite nicely.
In hindsight, it could probably have had a little more bottle age, but with a solid ~2+ hours of decanting it was "just right".
Given the price I paid ($0), I was quite happy with this one.
