Murphy Goode Cabernet Sauvignon

*Disclaimer – link mania and celebrity chef gushing below!*

Another post with a long time coming, this Murphy-Goode Cab was thoroughly enjoyed with the Andersons (my future familiy-in-law!!) during our beach trip to Bald Head Island. After all of the big press and social media buzz around fellow Atlantan Hardy Wallace and his triumph in the Murphy-Goode – A Really Goode Job wine-lifestyle-blogger-job-from-heaven, I had more than a few reasons to try this wine -

1. Hardy is an amazing wine blogger (even before Murphy-Goode fame) – I’ve never met him in person, but I love the goofy photos and fun videos he does, and he’s buddies with Top Chef-ers Kevin Gillespie (Woodfire Grill’s chef/owner and THE bacon king) and Eli Kirshstein (of Eno)… seriously, how much fun can one guy have?! Whatever, I would love to hang out with all three of these dudes any day of the week!

2. The Murphy-Goode A Really Goode Job social media contest/innovation was really awesome

3. I was amazed to find this bottle at Publix!

4. I like their style – check it out:

Here at Murphy-Goode, we love making wine. Flat-out love it. we’ve won plenty of awards and plan to win a whole lot more. That said, we also love football. And family. And laughing ’til we can barely breathe. You see, the same passion we have for wine, we unabashedly bring to everything we do. We live every day as if it were the best day in our lives. And who’s to say it isn’t? Great wine, great family, great friends. That’s what Murphy-Goode is all about. So what do you say, are you in?

5. Best of all… the Murphy Goode Cab was Awesome :)

6. I can’t wait to try it again. And the other varieties. And maybe get to hang with Hardy… And Kevin… And Eli. Woohoo!
