Last night I enjoyed a glass of Buddy’s Select produced by Lost Creek Vineyard. Buddy’s Select is a blend of 34 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 33 percent Merlot and 33 percent Shiraz with an alcohol level of 13.6 percent. The result is a wine with a deep opaque purple color. The aroma and taste was of dark fruit like black raspberries and jammy. The wine was full bodied with mild tannins on the finish.

The label on the wine is a photo of Buddy. Buddy was an orphaned dog and David Brinkman, owner and winemaker at Lost Creek Vineyard, adopted Buddy.

We paired Buddy’s Select with a grilled hamburger, mixed green salad and baked potato. It was a very nice pairing.
