Just a little Napa Cab for 4th of July dinner at L

Just a little Napa Cab for 4th of July dinner at LaMar Vineyard. 2014 @bryantfamilywines Bettina. Deep dark cab fruit with forest floor notes. Super rich and rustic all at same time. Cheeseburgers with grilled onions on iron skillet not a bad pairing. Few potatoe chips and onion rings made perfect 4th of July meal.

Gifted our new release 2017 Estate Petite Sirah to our neighbors Shila and Cole Capps who helped us find the owners of a turtle we found walking? across our driveway. It was 2 blocks from its house.
They did perfect pairing with smoked grass fed tri tip. They loved it!
