Instead of focusing on a specific wine this week, we’re instead highlighting a popular red wine grape! So raise your glass and toast #Cabernet Day with us!

Cabernet is one of the most popular and celebrated grapes in the world. The idea behind #Cabernet Day is to use Social Media and make it possible for anyone to follow or contribute to the conversation by including the hashtag #Cabernet in their posts on Twitter, Facebook,, personal blogs, etc,. If you participate in #Cabernet Day, you’re encouraged to sample Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Blend and/or Cabernet Franc and engage with others doing the same with conversation, tasting notes, and suggestions.

Better yet, enjoy a glass of Cabernet at a Morton’s near you! We’re serving BV, “Coastal Estates,” Cabernet Sauvignon as a featured wine during Power Hour at select locations, and it will pair perfectly with Petite Filet Mignon Sandwiches, part of our $6 or $7 Bar Bites menu. (Check your local Morton’s for pricing and availability.) We’re also proud to offer St. Supery, “Elu,” Cabernet Blend, Sequoia Grove, Cabernet Sauvignon (in select markets) and Hidden Ridge, “55% Slope,” Cabernet Sauvignon on our Wine by the Glass list! Sit back, relax and tweet your heart out as you experience #Cabernet Day in the comfort of Morton’s bar or dining room.

Enjoy the conversation on Thursday September 2, 2010 at any time during the day (it’s a 24-hour discussion so that anyone in any time zone can join in). Use the #Cabernet hashtag to make it easier for people to find you and see what you’re saying or search the #Cabernet hashtag in google, Twitter or Facebook.

Our thanks to Rick Bakas from St. Supery Vineyards and Winery for organizing this event and inviting Morton’s to participate.
