Not too long ago, I enjoyed a glass of this vintage wine along with a very tasty steak dinner at my parent’s house. A friend of the family’s was huge into wine, and occasionally shared wine with the parents as gifts, this was one such present.
As far as we could tell from the label (which is fascinating!) and bottle (stamped 1978, check out the old shape) this was a Cabernet Sauvignon from California Italian Swiss Colony (how about that for a combination). It was light bodied for a cabernet, with a little strawberry, and some smoky depths. Overall tasty, not the best wine I’ve ever had, but certainly one of the most fascinating!

That is a gorgeous label!
