I Thought My First Would Be More Memorable Category

My favorite wine is Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is the predominant grape in Bordeaux. Bordeaux is what made Thomas Jefferson fall in love with wine. I had a crush on Thomas Jefferson when I was 13. Ergo, I was sure my first Bordeaux would be a mind-blowing experience. I found a Bordeaux at Trader Joe's for six bucks, Les Caves Joseph. It's a right bank, because there is more Merlot than Cab in the wine. However, price and bank aside, I expected to find something spectacular in this bottle. I'm more than a little disappointed. It's not a bad wine at all. There are some floral and chocolate notes on the nose. It finishes with a medium mineral terroir. It's very drinkable, just not spectacular. I know there's a much better Bordeaux out there, and I will find it. In the mean time I'm going to finish this glass, so I can have a piece of chocolate cake. One way or another I will pursue happiness.
