Sounds great and nervewracking
I know this is bad but I cannot resist. I know Silver Oak is known for going with beef, but is it good with the types of meat that the “donner party” is known for?
I like to serve them with Donner Kebab.
I’ll bring the Cutlery if you wear your Sunday Best!
(Terrible Thread drift but I have to finish what others started)
Howard,
were all set. I have spoken with my colleague, I don’t know if you remember him as he was more of a lurker on the boards than participating, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and he will be intown and thinks we should have an offline with you and Craig but that since we don’t like Silver Oak so much anymore that we do a Chianti Tasting.
Is that Ok with you guys?
Again, I’ll bring the Cutlery if you can bring the stems.
Best, Joe Donner
Where does the coconut smell come from? Lots and lots of new oak?
As stated American oak alba … Keep in mind around the world IIRC over fifty different species of oak are used in wine production … Oak is not supposed to mask the wine it’s not a true expression of the fruit to battle oak… Peynaud stated that when he first worked with BDX and encouraged them to use new oak, they did he regretted the overuse and wished he told them to use concrete to ferment in, rather than the basteradation of oak …
Silver oak … Sure if I am out and the food had a bing banger of a snap,then I swing with silver oak lumber… And it works…
Cheers !!!
Just got word Edward Scissorhands accepted The EATvite and will bring the Cutlery!
can’t wait Craig and Howard!
It’s sexy to hate? Bite me.
And you’re gonna invoke CSW because they have a few 20 year old bottles? No.
Unmoved and unapologetic. Last one I tasted was 2x4 Kool-Aid.
