Got my shipping notice today. On their way to Chicago.

Please add me to the Chicago list. Thanks.

Avignonesi Vino Nobile is right around that point, maybe a tad higher. There's another Vino Nobile I always see at Whole Foods that's good and slightly cheaper.

The top 100 seems to suck worse than usual. A to Z Wineworks? Come on! It is just a blend of surplus juice. It also fits WS that the choices from the Penner Ash and Cristom stables are their ripest, least subtle wines. There are, as usual however, a few wines that I have never heard of, and wouldn'...

I was supposed to set aside a bottle for my wife to open one night she had some charity committee people over. I sort of did, but the bottle was not obvious. Anyway, they all drank some really nice wine, and none of them appreciated it. Similarly, we had friends over for the Super Bowl last year. On...

Just got my shipment Thursday. Should create a virtual tasting night.

Got my shipping notice to Chicago

I've had a couple of these in the past. Both times I opened and shared with friends. The opinions were always mixed - some people flat hated it, and some of us were just ok with it. Reminded me of a Sherry or a Madeira, but like Michael said, had gone bad... well not really bad, just not really good...

This is about the 5th thing I could do that night

If you need to donate some wine to thin your cellar, I know a good 501c3 that needs bottles for a holiday charity event, particularly wines that are made by women (as Blessons for Women www.blessons.org is a charity that benefits women).

I have finally gotten better at buying less from favorite lists, or just buying the bottles I know I always like.

Another vote for Cherry Circle Room.

This and Acanto are both good options

Just had some Kentucky Tomme from a producer in Indiana. Got it at Whole Foods. Outstanding!

Saw this on Facebook Starting Friday, November 1, join Dutch & Doc's for their Balena pop-up, which will feature a menu of Balena favorites like the tagliolini nero with crab and sea urchin. You won't want to miss it! Make your reservation ASAP before availability is gone. #DutchandDocs 73209656_278...

Just got an email saying that despite taking my order, they are having issues registering the wines for shipment to Connecticut.

Same for Illinois

No email for me

Most of our homemade pizza we cook on the grill. So with a red pizza, it’s almost always a Zin.

Great food wine, especially spicy food.

Had 8 bottles selected, but only 5 made it to checkout.

Someone on Facebook just posted this from National Geographic https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/destinations/asia/georgia/partner-content-georgia-tbilisi-bohemian-city/?cmpid=org=ngp::mc=social::src=facebook::cmp=sp_georgia::add=fbt20190917travel-newgeorgiatbilisi::rid=&sf219559879=1&fbclid=...

My oldest Saxum is a 2006 James Berry. Too young?

Thanks for the detailed notes. We've been considering this trip. A friend runs some photo tours, and he just added Georgia & Armenia. Would probably have gone this year except it overlaps the Chicago Marathon. We may go with him next year. Here is a link to his tour: https://photoenrichment.com/trea...

I have one bottle left, a 2005 Gap's Crown Pinot. I may have to open it this weekend in honor.

Maybe we should go back to the title of the thread - "wine cooler"

Do your wines have a tinny taste?

No mold?

Driving to Memphis? Stop along the way in DeValls Bluff, Ark, and eat at Craig’s.

OK, I will likely buy some incoming (again) for this comment, but may I ask why fully 50% of your many posts are to alert fellow WB's of mailing list offers? If we exclude the topic of golf, it would be closer to 75%. What am I missing? Your fellow WB's who are on the list would see the same thing ...

DFW used to have a tasting room/bar serving Texas wines. They had a dessert wine made with pecans. I’ll never brush that taste out of my mouth.

A local source does a very nice maple syrup aged in bourbon barrel - now that makes sense to me. We lacquered a turkey with it one year ... yum. Not quite sure what the point of that is, since the maple syrup already has a strong caramel note. I would think that would overpower the barrel tastes. N...

Are we talking chicken eggs?

semi related, is smoking still allowed within panchas? (fingers crossed for a yes)
Nothing better than smoking a pack of cigs to get ones palette right.

Are you chewing gum?

Have you tried Shady Lane? Going to a wine dinner this Wednesday highlighting their wines. Paul: My recollection is that they weren't at the same level as some of those I had mentioned, but it has been a number of years since I've had them, so I'd approach with an open mind. Leaving for the dinner ...

So many posts, so few pics. *tears*

Was Jay the only attendee?

We were in Copenhagen in June, and yes, natural wines are a thing there. So many local bars and restaurants were serving them, it was almost impossible to avoid them. However, I must admit, I enjoyed most of them. Some were a bit “different,” some were fun, many enjoyable, but almost none that I wou...
