Every Wednesday night, when I get together with my friends from We Like Drinking via Google+ to record the We Like Drinking Podcast, each member of the squad spends a little time talking about the drink that is in their glass at that moment.
This week, I broke into a really special wine that I’ve been sitting on for a while…
But it had to be done…
This week, it was reported that Police recovered almost all of the 76 bottles (worth an estimated $300,000) stolen from French Laundry on Christmas day. Police recovered the wine from a private wine cellar in North Carolina.
In honor of the the good guys saving the day for all high-end food and luxury wine aficionados out there, I found just the wine to drink…

Biltmore Reserve 2011 North Carolina Cabernet Sauvignon. What? You thought I was going to pop open some Screaming Eagle or DRC? You crazy!
This North Carolina Cabernet was a gift from my sister, who visited the Biltmore Estate a few years back. If you’d like to hear my exclusive take on this particular wine, check out the beginning of this weeks episode of the We Like Drinking Podcast.
You can stream the episode here, or search it up on iTunes under “We Like Drinking Podcast” (you may as well subscribe while you’re there). We’d love to get your feedback in the comments here, on Twitter (#WeLikeDrinking), or on the We Like Drinking website. And… of course, if you like it, tell a friend.
Stay Rad,
Jeff

I was totally digging your review of the wine, Jeff. You floored me with your prediction of what it would cost if it was a California wine.

Thanks, Jeff. I’ve gotta call ’em like I see ’em.
