Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

Cabernet Sauvignon – 2004; Light Cather Winery; Fort Worth, Texas
Whether you’ve waited 12
years to try this wine or you just forgot and rediscovered it makes no
difference. You’re in for one of those magnificent wine
experiences. The grapes for this wine started on their journey from
Newsom Vineyards. That alone tells you that quality fruit was used and
this wine is off to a great start. Add some good wine making and
patience, and you have a great cabernet wine just waiting to be admired in the
glass with aromas to be inhaled and finally sipped to be savored! The
aromas and flavors you get are still holding up well. With big black cherries,
berries, and plums, enticing you for more, you know you’ve opened the right
bottle today. Surprisingly, the tannins are still holding up nicely, so you might be able to keep this bottle
around in a good cellar for a couple of more years. Bring on that thick,
fatty, and juicy steak to compliment the wine experience. You deserved it
for waiting this long! Cheers!
