Julio Iglesias

However, Spanish-speaking audiences have a long history with the crooner, thanks to playfully sensual tunes like "Hey," "Abrazame" and "A Veces Tu, a Veces Yo."

2007 Chateau d'Og Cabernet Sauvignon

11 June 2010

Brenda's Winemaking Cabernet Sauvignon is KING. 

Some of the greatest wines of the world are produced from Cabernet Sauvignon; none more renowned than the red wines from Bordeaux, France.  Impressive houses (“chateaux”) honor these prestigious wines from a region where tradition reigns supreme.  2007 represents our first vintage of a Dog Series Cabernet Sauvignon.  Brenda loves the “bigness” of well made Cabernet Sauvignon. Bold flavors of currents, berries, chocolate and spice.  Ample tannins that provide structure and complexity.  What’s not to like?  Our only issues are that we are the antithesis of traditional, we don’t own a fancy “chateau” winery and we definitely enjoy having a bit more “dog” fun with our wine labels.  Thus was born our Chateau d’Og Cabernet Sauvignon, pronounced in your best faux French accent… shă-tō dē-ôg kăb-әr-nā sō-vēn-gôn.
