Meiomi Cabernet Sauvignon Review

I finally found a fantastic red wine under $20: Meiomi Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a delightful fruity, full-bodied profile with minimal bitterness, making it a delicious choice. The finish is almost syrup-like, adding a unique touch to its character.

I appreciate that it remains enjoyable even the next day after being corked, which is a bonus for those who might not finish a bottle in one sitting. Overall, it’s a pleasant table wine that fits well within my budget.

 

Update — 1/20/23: Meiomi Pinot Noir

I've also tried Meiomi's Pinot Noir, and it's equally impressive. Both the Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir are exceptional wines in the affordable category. Their quality far exceeds their price point, so I've stocked up on both. They are now go-to options for any casual gathering or dinner.

Tip: These wines are perfect for casual gatherings where you want to serve something consistent and crowd-pleasing without breaking the bank.

Exploring Other Options

Alongside Meiomi, I'm looking forward to trying other labels to see how they stack up in my budget-friendly rotation. It’s exciting to discover such quality wines at an accessible price!

Sony MDR-ZX100 vs ZX-110 vs ZX-310 Series Headphones

Gear Review Budget Audio Face-off: Sony ZX Series Review Comparing the ZX-100, ZX-110, and ZX-310 for your everyday carry ~3 Models ~$10–$20 Price 2.5+ Years Longevity Table of Contents ① Build Quality ② Cost Comparison ③ Sound Quality ④ Overall Value ⑤ Upgrade Path Section I Build Quality The Sony ZX series headphones primarily feature a durable plastic construction. My ZX-100 has lasted over 2½ years, enduring countless tosses into my backpack and car without any issues. However, the lower-end ZX-100 and ZX-110 models have a significant downside: poor-quality earpads.   The Earpad Problem Over time, the earpads on the ZX-100 and ZX-110 disintegrate, leaving vinyl flakes that stick to your hair and ears. The ZX-310 comes with upgraded earpads that don't suffer from this problem — a clear win in the build department. Tip: If your earpads start to flake, it is a sign of material degradation; consider replacing the cushions or upgrading to a model with more durable synthetic lea...

MacBook Air 2017 - A1466 - Linux - Project + Install Advice

Linux · Dev Hardware · Field Notes My "New" Linux Laptop 2017 MacBook Air — $120 on eBay, Running Linux Mint $120 Per Unit (eBay) 2× Units Acquired 6–8h Battery Life 2.96 lbs I needed a portable laptop with good battery life and decent specs to write code while outside — mostly small-to-medium Python or ASP.Net projects and a few basic ML models. My HP 2016 i7 is too bulky, the HP i3 is hideous, so I replaced my old Linux laptop with not one but a pair of MacBook Airs picked up on eBay for $120 each. Why two? Originally I got the 256GB MQD42LL/A, and when pricing a 512GB SSD upgrade it was basically the cost of a whole 512GB A1466. Why pay $80 for a drive when $120 gets an entire computer? Eventually I'll get a newer M-series MacBook to fulfill my programming needs — but for $120, this is unreal value. Even after 9 years it looks modern and...
