The other night I met fellow ex-pat San Antonian Jeff H. at Cav Wine Bar on Market St. to catch up and chat and to have some good wine and food.
The last wine I tried really stood out and I wound up buying a bottle to take home (the bar sells retail bottles). It was a Jenke Merlot, and I really recommend it. I think it was under $25 if I recall correctly.
Just a warning though- it has a funky/leathery/earthy bouquet that I love with my wines, and especially with my “food” wines. But I know some of you don’t like those qualities, hence the warning.
Keep an eye out for it- or let me know what you think if you’ve already had it.
does it taste like dirt? ’cause if so I am SO in!
nope- it tasted really good though- go pick some up and put it in your cellar.
