For People Who Drink Wine - and Do Other Stuff Good Too

Jenke Cabernet 2004 Might Leave You with Dry Mouth

Two wines, one night, multiple cab rides, three bars, heaps of 80s music - I started my Thursday night with a couple glasses of the Jenke, and will say that this wine definitely gets a thumbs up from yours truely. Its big, gritty, with lots of fruit flavors, though the most notable characteristic was in the tail ( I'm all about the tail by the way) during which it gave me a very unique smokey flavor. I took maybe 4-5 sips to place it. Yup, sure was, that was the same taste I got routinely at about 11 pm on a Monday, each week of sophmore year of college.

Calling all college stoners, buy a bottle of this wine, pronto.

If you're looking for a sidekick for this wine, I'd recommend any kind of red meat - steak, venison, etc - though you can take it straight up as well or with a nice, mediterranean, vegetarian dish. I did all three on Thursday night.
