Educated Guess is one of our favorite cabs that we discovered at House Wine. We normally like to keep our spending on wines to $12-15 a bottle but couldn’t pass up this wine after trying it on House Wine’s Enomatic Tasting Machine. Educated Guess runs just under $20 a bottle.
Cellared and bottled by Roots Run Deep Winery in Oakville, California, it is described as the richest, ripest and most complex Cabernet that you can buy for the money. So far we’ve found that to be the case. I like the fact that it is not as sweet as a lot of cabs out there. I recently tried a bottle of The Prisoner ($40). I initially enjoyed it but was later turned off by the sugary sweet finish. Why the name? The maker claims to have taken the guesswork out of selecting a bottle of wine. If you like bold cabs, this is the wine for you. If you like Kool-Aid cabs that are syrupy sweet, steer clear of Educated Guess. Other faves of mine from House Wine include The Show, Hook and Ladder and Siete. Check out their Thursday night tastings through March. March 5 – Trinchero Family Estates March 12 – Organic with Wayward Seed March 19 – Chile March 26 – Spring Wines $15 a person from 6-8:30 pm on Thursdays. For more info visit House Wine at |

Here’s my thoughts on New Taco Tao:
“I drove over here after reading about it on the web. It’s a really dirty truck with a really dirty table. Forget it. ”
On the other hand, Taquikin Taqueria y Loncheria Movil, which is actually on Morse Rd, I said:
“Went back tonight for a couple more taco pastors and an order of refried beans. And tried the roasted jalapenos. They weren’t as hot as I imagined. Also had an orange soda. Very good food. Highly recommended!”
