The Rise and Fall of Cabernet

[quijote]

As a relative novice to wine, and therefore as someone with no real traditional preference for any particular style, I've really enjoyed dining with the subtle/finessed wines about as much as with the more bombastically alcoholic ones--all depending on the intensity of the food and my plans for the next day. (!) However, my work schedule gets pretty intense between Sunday evening and Thursday afternoon, so I often have to do without wine or just have a small glass with dinner, due to the high alcohol content. I would love to be able to find interesting reds at 11% alcohol or below, but I haven't had much luck.
