MCBEE'S WINE DIARY: Central Market has "Decoy" on Sale

THE MCBEE WINE BLOG DIARY

My mother, Camille McBee, partnered with Bobby G. Smith, Winemaker, in North Texas for over 30 years. Together they worked to develop a National and International name for Texas Wines. In 2009 she passed away too young, but she left behind a Texas Wine Industry that was better because of her dedication and she left a family with a deep rooted love and appreciation for wine and entertaining. This blog serves as a diary of my adventures in wine and as a lasting toast to my mother. -Cheers!

This blog is NOT intended to be the authority on tasting notes, or a professional guide for wine experts; it's simply a place for me to share some of my opinions and findings about wine with my friends and other wine lovers.

I truly hope you will use this blog to help you the next time you are thinking about what to buy at the wine store or deciding what to order at a local restaurant or when you travel to the wine country. ENJOY!

Central Market has "Decoy" on Sale

One of my favorite value Caberbet's is Decoy from Duckhorn Vineyards and Central Market had it on sale today for $24 a bottle. Duckhorn is another great Napa vineyard just off the Silverado Trail in St. Helena. Decoy is made from 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, aged in French Oak Barrels for 12 months. It has great taste of berry and tobacco and mint.

For the money, I always love this wine. I highly suggest you run over to Central Market and pick up a few bottles while they are on sale. Don't forget Central Market gives an additional 10% for 6 bottles or more.
