19 crimes is definitely on the "for shame" list. That stuff is gross.

Come on now. When you can find it for $16.99, open it and let it sit for about 30 minutes, it ain't that bad...

Have you ever had anything from Eden Hills? It's a Texas vineyard. I just bought the Petit Verdot and their Aglianico.

What's your go to Cab Franc? I have very limited experience with that grape. I know Titus supposedly has good quality from Napa.

Michael David makes a good one under their Ink Blot label. It's a tough grape to do well as a varietal wine because it's so astringent, but when it's done well, it's a damn good wine.

Chtateau Montelena out of Napa Valley. Never liked cab franc until I tried theirs.

It's the vineyard that turned the wine world and particularly the French upside down in 1976.

It’s really not super popular but it should be.

I would Say 60% of the wine stores I’ve been to done even carry it.

Martins has 1-2 and Aquistapece’s has a good one.

Cool that's from the Basque Country. My hometown has the largest Basque population in the world outside of the country. I'm surprised I've never heard of it. Didn't know the Basque drank anything but Kalimotxo (red wine and coke ).

Wine and Coke is popular all over Spain not just Basque Country. They also mix it with Sprite.
