> Pascual Toso2006Cabernet SauvignonMaipu VineyardsMendozaArgentina It took me 3 tries to decide if I like this one, and the answer is definitely yes.

> not my bag, baby (wink). How many times can I get away with that “review”? I am getting sort of disheartened… If a wine is from Paso Robles, I just assume I’ll love it. But, maybe it’s the double whammy. “Paso” in the name and being from “Paso Robles” should have made me think [...]
