Kenwood Yulupa Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007, California

Would I !?

I am not going to lie to you; kids are in bed, better half is at yoga and I am at the counter working, drinking wine and designing the next best smart phone ever. This is how its done folks.

I saw this Kenwood at the SAQ and thought:

Would Ken like this?
Of course Ken would.
But its a Cab Sauv and Ken usually thinks they are just too over flavoured. That astringent green pepper business, you know? We always have Cabs at the end of wine club and they knock him on his butt.
Bollocks you perfumed ponce, Ken would like it.
But for $17.50 Quebec dollars*? Would Ken want to pay that much?
Dickhead! Of course Ken would pay that much, look at the name of the wine!!
I...don't...get it...
Uhhhhh. Dolt! "Ken WOULD" like this wine.
Because of the YULUPA? That's funny.
Oh my god. How have I managed this far...

Well, I am liking it. Its a little less, uhhhh, rough? than the Cabs I have had lately. As in, it doesn't wage astringent war on the pallet and is really smooth in general. I think if I were eating a fatty steak right now this wine would be the ideal companion. Along with a knife and fork, of course. There is a fruit taste under the fuel-ish nose and in general this wine has made my work go really well. I think.

Not sure it should be $17.50 Quebec dollars*, perhaps an even $14.00 would be better and would certainly help lessen the "its Tuesday night for f!cks sake and I'm drinking $17.50 wine at home at my counter. What am I, a domesticated rapper? Where my grills at?" guilt.

*Quebec Dollars: Unlike other dollars, Quebec dollars support things like Quebec hospital waiting times, DuMaurier and online Casinos and are automatically devalued to 30% of other dollars upon crossing of any of the Ottawa-Gatineau bridges if you earn your Dollars in Ontario.
