On the way back from an excursion to the St. Augustine, FL area, we stopped at a little wine and cheese shop that I'd been wanting to visit for awhile, the Hammock Wine and Cheese shop (the address is actually in Palm Coast). I was very impressed at the vast array of wine confined in such a small space but arranged in a way that was not crowded or overwhelming. After sampling some wine and a bit of cheese (the owner was very accommodating), I decided I was in a Chilean mood. I selected the Nieto Senetiner Reserva (2005) Cab/Shiraz blend from Mendoza. Blackberries, cocoa, and vanilla with a smokiness on the nose, delicious and worth well above its $10 price tag.
