Bad to the Bourbone

TASTING NOTES:“Aging Cabernet Sauvignon in bourbon barrels shows off the natural ripe fruits while softening the tannins and adding an aged balance to the wine. Each sip resonates with rich hints of bourbon. Its soooo good.” -Joy Merrilees, Director of Winemaking & ProductionAGING PROCESSCabernet Sauvignon aged in freshly emptied bourbon barrels for three months.**TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:**The song Bad to the Bone was written by George Thorogood and the Destroyers back in 1982. The album was called Bad to the Bone as well, and only six years later, in 1988, they released an album called Born to Be Bad. And of course on Born to Be Bad there was also a song called Born to Be Bad. Thorogood just couldnt stop being bad, or at least couldnt stop telling people about it. And like all popular songs, someone else claims that he stole it from them. Maybe Thorogood really is Thorobad.**DRINK IT FROM (conventional option):**Standard red glass.**OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):**Bourbon bottle, just to get that full bourbon experience. Also I just like to say the word bourbon.
