While I’m primarily focused on wine tasting road trips I like to mention special wines that I pick up along the trails.  One of those is Chateau Christina Cab from the Pedregal Vineyard in San Benito County near Salinas, CA.

This vineyard sits on the famous San Andreas Fault and the soil has been churned for millions of years.  I’m finding a very dry Cab with noticeable tannins that is a bit different than the mainsteam Cabs. On day 2 of tasting it holds up great and becomes more interesting.

This wine is available in the Joyce Vineyards tasting room in the Village of Carmel Valley in Monterey County.

You may want to play with this one. Much more fun than most.
