			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I had another sort of birthday dinner last night with my wife and in laws.  We celebrated with my favorite meal arroz con pollo (chicken and rice with saffron) a bottle of St. Francis Cabernet Sauvignon and various starters as well as mighty good cherry cheesecake, which evidently we neglected to get a photo of before it was cut into pieces- the <a href="http://www.wagonwheelrestaurantinc.com/index.html">Wagon Wheel Restaurant</a> makes some of the best pies in all of Southern California.</p>
<p><img src="http://winewithmark.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/marks-30th-bday-at-wiese-house-005.jpg" alt="Arroz con Pollo" title="Arroz con Pollo" width="500" height="375" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-138" /></p>
<p>A quick review of the <a href="http://shop.stfranciswinery.com/?ck=PAWYGJXFEU&amp;pk=8DCB1F237A&amp;CatalogID=456&amp;section=shop&amp;Details=6413732">wine</a> which retails for between $22 and $27 depending on where you buy it.  It was well received by everyone, it is a big Cab so maybe the arroz con pollo isn’t its perfect match, but good food and good wine always can work together.</p>
<p><img src="http://winewithmark.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/marks-30th-bday-at-wiese-house-003.jpg" alt="St. Francis Cab Sauv Sonoma" title="St. Francis Cab Sauv Sonoma" width="500" height="666" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-139" /></p>
<p>I can definitively say that it holds up with the Sonoma/Napa tradition of moderate tannis and a pleasing texture/aroma.  I wasn’t able to pick up much in the way of oak, cherry or chocolate flavors which are more easily accessed in their higher priced bottles.  Overall it isn’t a wine that I’ll make a point to buy, but it is a solid drinkable wine that I enjoyed and would gladly purchase again if it were available at a local grocery store. It added to a good meal with good food and good company which is always appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks again for reading and please join us over at Uncorked Ventures.</p>
