Wine Selection: Bishops Peak Cabernet Franc

Ok, so I didn’t exactly drink any wine during the “Bay to Breakers” run/walk, but the day after, I was dying for a glass. What did I have? Bishops Peak’s Cabernet Franc. The wine is perfect for a foggy evening, Gorgonzola stuffed hamburgers that I grilled, and the “picture review” from the day before.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the “Bay to Breakers” run/walk/party in San Francisco, you are missing out. This is a crazy event with costume wearing, keg pulling, dancing, walkers. I was dressed as the famous Wonder Woman and Sara, my adorable cousin, dressed as Amy Winehouse, the award winning singer. Our groups havoc began on the corner of 7th and Howard at 8am and ended somewhere by Golden Gate park around 11am. This was not even close to the 12 or so miles that we were supposed to complete, but considering that distance took 2 hours, you should understand why.

All in all I have to say, this event was fantastic and just as bold as the Cab Franc in my glass. With the smooth, rich fruit up front and just a hint of violet and sage. The finish denotes the classic earthy quality you expect from the varietal, but there is something more…almost a minerality or granite taste. All together makes the perfect pair to a rich meat or cheese dish.

My cousin and I...

Cheers!
