March 8, 20214 yr Mags show you care! Walked into a small town Montana wine shop and found this mag of champs. The bordeaux was a smoke show!
March 8, 20214 yr Popped a Sojourn Sonoma Coast tonight to go with sous vide lobster tails and flatiron steak. Sojourn may be one of the best values in Sonoma. I've yet to have a bad bottle (cab or pinot noir) and even their most expensive cab is around $100. If you're not familiar with them, I'd suggest you try them out. Edited March 8, 20214 yr by DDD Dad

March 12, 20214 yr How was that 2001 Chateau Canon? I have some 2014 and 2015 that is cellared right now.This 01 Canon is shockingly great! Let those babies rest for another 10-15 years.

March 13, 20214 yr Another great daily drinker. This one from renowned Super Tuscan producer Grattamacco but it's their Rosso which is made to drink young and very affordable.
March 16, 20214 yr Fuck pictures are too hard now. Fuck itTapa? I almost never can get them to post anymore. Have to use safari on the phone. Too many clicks.

Not tapa but I used to be able to upload to imgbb and copy paste. Now it doesn’t work regardless of what I try and I haven’t yet been inclined to figure out why. Just know that there are some special wines being consumed over the next two weeks and if I get enough gumption I’ll figure it out. Maybe @immamac can give me a couple of quick pointers to help out.
March 17, 20214 yr Oh my. I have a bottle of the Bonneau stashed away somewhere. I can't recall the vintage.
March 20, 20214 yr Tonight - a 40-50 yr old Penfolds Grange vertical and some A5 Wagyu... should be a pretty nice little evening
March 20, 20214 yr Don’t forget the A1 for the steaks and a couple of ice cubes to put in the wine!I’m jealous.
March 23, 20214 yr I like Elin McCoy, the wine person at Bloomberg. Her taste has not steered me wrong. Bloomberg has a recent article on wines under $25, most from Portugal. I love Portuguese wine, but it is not as easy to find stateside. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-18/best-wine-under-25-from-portugal-home-of-the-secret-bargains?srnd=premium&sref=knoriXqz
March 24, 20214 yr Portuguese Vinho Verde blends Albariño with other grapes, but Albariño by itself is good. Especially with shellfish. Spain’s Galicia produces a lot of good Albariño, and Do Ferreiro is the benchmark. And it’s under $30.
March 24, 20214 yr All the cool kids are drinking Carricante from Etna. Growing grapes around active volcanoes is punk as fuck.
March 24, 20214 yr All the cool kids are drinking Carricante from Etna. Growing grapes around active volcanoes is punk as fuck. I like Etna wines. A trip to Sicily has been on my to do ever since I did a Sicilian wine class. Some tasty wines being made in Sicily.

March 27, 20214 yr 50 yr old Barolo and some 2017 Chardonnay from CA and AustraliaLove me some Aubert & Leeuwin!
March 27, 20214 yr 15 hours ago, HenryJames said: How was the Monfortino? It was a good bottle. The fruit is mostly gone but the tertiary flavors are all solid. Still quite acidic and the tannins are soft but still present. A well kept bottle probably has another 25 years or more left in it. Overall an excellent wine.
April 2, 20214 yr @milkman, your life fascinates me...you have weekly "little get togethers" celebrating something in which you drink the equivalent of $15K worth of wine each time. at some point, you are going to have spill the beans or at least start inviting me. i turned 40 last year, let's get together and celebrate. i'll come to you.

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

April 17, 20214 yr Three UT buds and our wives have been zooming every Saturday night for the past year until tomorrow! I don’t have any idea what I’m drinking in between, but I am bringing the beginning and end of the evening:
