...personally, Silver Oaks has been one of my favorite cabs over the years, usually great stuff and not bad for the price, considering what good cabs are selling for these days.
I did a "tour" of Cakebread about 25 years ago when the winery was just a small house on the back of the property where Jack and his wife lived. We sat at their kitchen table and chatted and then tasted from the barrels stored in the adjacent garage. He sent his sons to UC Davis and they took over and expanded it so it's become one of the premier boutique wineries along hiway 29.
They produce some good wine but I usually find it a little overpriced and not especially to my liking. I liked it better before they went high end.
If someone mentions these two wineries, I'd say it shows they know at least a little about decent wine.
Unlike Bose. Which is all about marketing instead of audio.
What's the wine equivalent?
Perhaps "two buck Chuck", the Charles Shaw wine sold at Trader Joe's.
Life's too short to drink cheap wine. Or listen to Bose.
