Before working at the local liquor store for a bit, I knew absolutely nothing about alcohol - wines, beers, and spirits were basically a foreign language to me. After learning more about alcohol, I noticed that J. Lohr was an extremely popular brand, and rightly so! J. Lohr's Cabernet Sauvignon has been around for quite some time, and consistently receives 4 star reviews on the internet. At $23.95 a bottle, it's my go-to gift of choice for wine drinkers and can easily be found in the Vintages section.
This Californian Cabernet Sauvignon is full bodied with notes of black cherry, blackcurrant, vanilla, cedar, and spices - making this the perfect wine to pair with red meats, especially steak.
If you're already well seasoned with J. Lohr's Cab Sauv, you've got to check out their new Merlot ($22.95) that was just released this year! This Merlot blend has fruity notes similar to the Cab Sauv, but is less sweet and a bit more smokey.
What's your go-to wine for gifting?
