Behind the Cork™ - Frei Brothers Sonoma Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
2021 Frei Brother Sonoma Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ($16) Frei Brothers has been a part of Sonoma County for over a century. After coming to California from his native Switzerland, founder Andrew Frei first established vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley in 1890. His two sons, Walter and Louis, eventually took over and adopted the name Frei Brothers. They successfully ran the winery for over 70 years. Frei Brothers vineyards caught the eye of Julio Gallo soon after the repeal of Prohibition. He began using the site as a vineyard source for the rapidly growing E. & J. Gallo Winery. Once Walter and Louis had both retired in the late 1970s, the Gallo family purchased Frei Ranch. This Frei Brothers Sonoma Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is from the Alexander Valley in Sonoma. It is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon although some technical listings suggest it is may include small amounts of Merlot and Petite Sirah. It is deep purple in color with subtle aromas of dark fruit.

videoSix Burgundies, $35 to $450 — Which One Is Actually Worth Buying?
Six wines, one region, prices from $35 to $450 a bottle. We're tasting blind — no labels, no hints — trying to figure out where they're from and which ones are actually worth your money. A few things happened that we didn't see coming. One wine had us all convinced it was something it absolutely wasn't. The cheapest bottle on the table punched well above its weight.
