date night with Rodney Strong Vineyards

If you know me – Nothing helps me wind down after a long day, more than a glass of red wine. Mix in some good conversation, snacks, and I’m all set! Today, I am sharing my latest favorite bottle with you! It’s a Cabernet by Rodney Strong Vineyards, and it’s DELICIOUS!

I like to try out different wine brands from time to time, and have heard great things about Rodney Strong! I found this bottle at my local grocery store, after checking out their retail locator online. It was about $16 for the bottle, and worth every penny to me. I love the rich flavor that embodies dark cherry, plum, and spices. There’s some lingering oak flavors, and each sip is so smooth! At this age, I appreciate a high-quality wine more than ever. Something easy to sip on, that won’t leave me with a headache. More importantly, something that Justin will want to enjoy with me!

When I found this bottle of wine, I was thinking about how Justin & I could enjoy it together for a little date night at home! We’ve been trying to make date nights & quality time a priority for us. I knew this wine would pair amazing with a charcuterie board, and a steak dinner. So, that’s exactly what I did. Justin usually works long hours, so since I work from home, I was able to prep the board and have a glass of wine ready for him when he got home. I love being out in the fresh hair, and just talking about life – no phones, or distractions. Just meaningful human connection, and wine sipping of course!

If you’re a red wine lover like, I highly recommend checking out The Sonoma County Cabernet by Rodney Strong Vineyards! Just head on over to their website to find a bottle near you!
