Baron Herzog Cabernet Sauvignon Jeunesse. Loved the 2010 that was Semi dry but in 2011 they changed the label to Semi sweet and the flavor changed with it!! Still great bottle and surprisingly cheap.

frpm the description:      "a young, easy to drink wine for today's fast paced and informal lifestyle"

you might as well write, wine for people who can't take the time to appreciate the nuances of fine wine because they are to busy updating their twitter statuses

@JJ1000
What did you think of "Isaac's Ram"?
Just had some- It is for sure the best wine I've had in many months. It has a very rich and lush flavor with an amazingly uplifting after tone. I even drank some before letting t breath and it wasn't sour/harsh at all. After breathing it just got better. Thanks for the tip!!!

Can'y y'all post some details about this hookup?

Did you get to choose at all, or it's a take-it-or-leave-it style package deal?

Looks like a very nice selection, The Flam Classico is really good. The Petit Castel and Kayoumi as well. Cant tell if the Yarden Syrah is one of their single vineyards (like Ortal) but either way thats a good one.
So whats the story with the deal?
