WINE OF THE WEEK
Santa Ema 1996 "Maipo Valley" Cabernet Sauvignon ($7) Really big. In fact amazingly big for an inexpensive Cabernet. Big, ripe cassis flavors with a pleasant edge of bittersweet chocolate. Chewy and mouthfilling, but not astringent. Rating: 87/95
(Maipo Valley is Chile, by the by)

$7 for a nice Cab and it only earns a 95? !@#$%^&?!
