Yes, I\u2019m that person that gives people shit about drinking Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. And I\u2019m that person, even when my general mantra is to drink what you like as long as you\u2019re open-minded. I have nothing against Napa Cab. After all, it is the wine that put the American wine industry on the global stage and pretty much made \u2018Napa Valley\u2019 into a household name. And as you can see, I\u2019ve got plenty of love for Napa Cab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is a time and a place for Napa Cab \u2013 as there is for all wines. My gripe with Napa Cab is that people only want to drink it to the exclusion of everything else. Grilled shrimp? Let\u2019s open a Napa Cab. Asian food? I\u2019ve got a Napa Cab for that. People! Napa Cab can be great. Is great. But it doesn\u2019t go with everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As it happens during this time of year, one of the often-asked questions is what impressive (expensive)<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> bottle of wine to gift. And when I ask what type of wine they were thinking, the answer in many instances is \u2018Cabernet Sauvignon.\u2019 So since I\u2019m always asked the question, it seems fitting that I share some Cabs that I think are worthy of gifting. Some of these are well-known (because hey, why mess with a classic?), while others may not be as well known. And all are generally available for purchase. Because why recommend a highly allocated bottle that no one can get?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here are some Napa Cab picks that have graced my cellar that would make excellent gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
