We had a light meal of chicken pasta salad with tomatoes, fresh baby spinach, strawberries, baby cut carrots and red grapes. We tried the Tisdale Cab. It is fruity and mildly sweet. But the finish is a bit off. Heather jumped on that immediately. Hey, it’s $3.99, I’m okay with it. It was an acceptable pour but not a repeat buy. The label recommends it with pasta or grilled meat (the chicken in the pasta salad was grilled in a Montreal Steak Seasoning with some Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce).
