This is the right time of year (the quiet winter) and the right place (the quiet Hamptons) to splurge on luscious red wines for cold weather dinners.
Amagansett Wine is running some specials on top rated California killer cabs.
LARKIN 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon. I have not tasted the 07 yet, but I know several past vintages and they are terrific, opulent and full bodied. $49.99 per bottle.
CONN VALLEY 2007 “Reserve” Cabernet Sauvignon. (Parker: 94 to 96 points) Extraordinary cab to drink now or keep. $59.99
NAPANOOK by DOMINUS 2007. At $49.99, about a third the price of parent Dominus. Bordeaux style and an outstanding deal.
