I will be the first to categorize myself as a skeptic; to most questions,  I would normally answer no. Of course, people are always trying to get you to try their product by any means possible. We’ve all gotten the “open immediately; sensitive material enclosed” junk mail, or the new and improved version that is really the same old product with a new label.  Tonight, however, I tried a 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon from Banrock Station that convinced me that there might be truth behind marketing. I purchased this bottle of wine while completing the grocery list my wife sent with me to the store. This task was listed, as get wine PLEASE, no preferences or suggestions. I paced the aisle looking for a nice value along with catchy labeling of course, and found this bottle with the distinction “Wine Enthusiast 10 Best Buys Since 2005” emblazoned on a gold sticker. I was hooked, especially at $7 USD a bottle. I think the Wine Enthusiasts are spot on with this cab. Mrs. Grapeinabottle and I had a glass while dinner was cooking, and it was very smooth and fruity with a hint of oak. I would definitely recommend this wine to all my friends. Of note: this Eastern Australian wine boasts of its wetland conservation in Australia, Netherlands, Sweden, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Denmark, USA, and Kenya.
