Hess Collection Allomi 2012

By
Industry Observer

 

 

We grilled steaks last night which is usually our Saturday night fare, but the kids bailed on us Sunday so we had steaks left and decided to grill them and watch the “Big Game.” After reading Endre Barth’s wine series, I was ready to taste a California Cabernet that I had not had in a while so I got the Hess Allomi out. It was very good rich intense taste with a berry taste with a hint of toasted cedar to me. It went very well with our steaks. The price at the store is $22.67 but I always buy 6 wines or more so I get a 10% discount so it was close to $20, I rate it at a good value at $20.

Yolanda, your description sent my tastebuds into a whirlwind! I am a vegie, so not steaks for me, but LOVE cabs alone or with something (good chocolate, perhaps?)

I will feature this in ActiveRainWiners group!

 Good morning Yolanda. For me to cook steaks out on the grill, I would have to chip all of the ice off of it first. I will have to check my local wine shop to see if this wine is available.

Sounds, delicious Yolanda.  If the kids bale again, give me a call, maybe I could get a quick flight out.

Yolanda, Thank you for the information about the wine. I do not drink wine so I need help when I buy it for entertaining and for gifts.

Hi Yolanda - great post about Hess. I do like Hess Chardonnay. And I like how you changed the font color to match the wine!! Happy Wednesday.

I will give this one a whirl, Yolanda. It sounds great, I don't eat red meat, but that doesn't stop me from preferring red wines. Have a good afternoon. D

Hey Yolanda  I am envious, we hardly have meat on our table, Diane is 75% Vegetarian now....so when we go out to dinner I turn into a carnivore... on a side note this wine looks interesting, you should add that to my blog post:) Endre
