Need detailed tasting notes for each

Drizzle some olive oil on oyster mushrooms and lightly grill. Slice and use as a pizza topping. We make a lot of pizza on our outdoor grill, and these are a great topping.

I have just a few. I better research them.

I Pobega’ed the 2017 SC Zin. Definitely killed a baby tonight.

2014 Sojourn Cab, Propriety Cuvée Tart raspberry, chocolate. Very smooth. Do you think its ready or would you wait to open the next one? This was the Berserker Day freebie. I have at least another one I previously bought. I will probably wait another 3 years on it. It’s not too early, but another c...

2014 Sojourn Cab, Propriety Cuvée
Tart raspberry, chocolate. Very smooth.

So what I've gleaned from this thread is that liver pairs with wine.

2013 Tercero Mourvedre Santa Barbara County
Lots of aroma, fruit and floral. Opened with lots of sweet-to-tart fruit. A vein of Thanksgiving spice and Worcester sauce. Second glass was already much smoother mouthfeel. Delightful wine.

Y’all can have every last bottle because I wouldn’t even wash my dog with this stuff.
Tell us how you really feel

To each their own, my friend.

Cheers!

No. I have to do the de-styrofoaming of the bottles first. Every bottle cleaned of the little bits and pieces. My cats have a bad habit of trying to eat the bits. I post this once or twice a year at shipping season when the styrofoam bits get brought up. While holding the bottle over the styrofoam ...

Yes, those pesky bits are definitely annoying. I use our Dyson hand held when this happens I got a shipment a couple weeks ago, and it w...

I don’t remember seeing one that dark

Clayton, they did not send the pairings -- just the 35 page list. Perhaps I'll request a copy; thanks for the tip. The top list just put the night too expensive for me. HOWEVER, I never thought to ask for the pairings/list in advance (Doh!). Maybe I would have gone with the basic list. But to Calyt...

Heading to Alinea this coming weekend. Better to pass on the pairings? I asked for and received a copy of the bottle list. Not many bargains, that's for sure. We went about a year ago. We did the middle pairing. Wines were good, not great, but good matches. Type of food is all over the board, so so...

2011 Tercero, Cuvee Loco, Larner Vineyard
50% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 25% Mouvedre
A little rustic. Tart cherry, pepper, cocoa.

Polish. And linearity.

As in coming from Poland?

The fruit of course!

Currant, rasberry in an aged cabernet.

Blackberries in a good zinfandel.

Subtle strawberries in a nice pinot noir.

Peach, pear, apple butter in a cool chardonnay.

Good list

2019 KBS

Tastes like licorice, although with some air, it is toning. Only poured a half glass. See if better in a couple of days. Come over, and I have a 2016 and a 2018 in the fridge, and we can compare.

As a zin with some age and carrying 17.1% ABV (!!!), I approached this bottle with a high degree of skepticism over burgers at Wakonda DSM last night. Honestly, this is kind of antithetical to my typical preferred style. But, as a legacy of my formerly RP-friendly palate and more carefree spending ...

I'm on some mailing lists from wineries that I've visited, ordered from in the past, gone to wine dinner/tastings, corresponded with - not true allocated mailers - that I'll hear from telling me about some new wine, and sometimes they are hard to pass on. Got one the other day for some Rose', and th...

I am familiar with PAIRING wine and cheese, looking to complement or contrast some flavor component of each. (e.g. acidic grassiness of fresh goat cheese matched with that of some Sauv Blancs). But thinking about WINE TASTING LIKE CHEESE is almost blowing my mind (or what's left of it). I have neve...

2012 Carlisle Zin, Dupratt Vineyard

Our version the other night

Used the smoked paprika on some potatoes last night

2008 Sojourn Cab, Proprietary Cuvée

Great steak wine. Aged perfectly. Pop ‘em if you got ‘em.

Paired with grilled steak, brussel sprouts, and potatoes spiced with Nola’s smoked paprika.

Mine arrived last week. Already using the olive oil and the sherry vinegar. Delicious.

My mother who used to steam the crap out of brussels sprouts until they were yellow green and my father who made me eat them until I gagged poisoned my interest in the mini cabbage. It wasn't until a friend grilled mini sprouts that they tasted awesome. There's a restaurant near us that does a kung...

Just got my half-case of 2018 Rosé. Had to Pobega one.

Light salmon in color. Some floral aromas. Crisp. Combo of Jolly Rancher and citrus/nectarine. Delicious.

Will put the other 5 away and wait for warm weather.

2012 Carlisle, Zin, Sodini Vnyd. We had a 2015 Carlisle Dry Creek Zin (15% Petite Sirah) last night which rocked. Very expressive nose and big and luxurious on the palate. If you have a few try one soon, but there's no hurry. This one seems to be made for the long haul. I'm sure your 2012 Sodini is...

2012 Carlisle, Zin, Sodini Vnyd.

2016 Turley White Coat
Heavier and tarter than some years.

Wasn’t there another thread awhile back about if a particular soil imparted that characteristic into the wine? For example, if grown in soil containing limestone, does that impart a limestone taste into the wine, and if so, how/why? No! Soils affect wine -- through water and heat retention, for ins...

Not really opening a bottle, but was at Whole Foods last night in their wine bar. They always have two wines on tap, a white and a red. Last night it was a Carbonic Sangiovese from Stoplman. Was quite tasty. Light and fruity with some spice.

2016 Seghesio Arneis, delightful wine, went very nicely with gnocchi tonight

Is that a wine that is widely distributed? Never seen it. Would love to try.

Great and interesting OP.

This thread is full of fail

I still get it. More of a lifestyle magazine now. Learn a few interesting things for travel ideas.

... TCA can get into a wine in the cellar. Also, reduction can sometimes be confused with TCA... the rule is that TCA gets worse with air time , reduction gets better (reduction reduction!). ... Interesting, and thanks for noting this. I had a domestic Pinot (2010) the other night, that at first wa...

And to the digerati

So you're giving your soon-to-be-former coworker a white elephant? [pwn.gif] How about a nice 3 bottle lot, 6 bottle lot, or magnum of their favorite Napa wine in it's wooden presentation box? How often will they have occasion to drink a 9L or 12L bottle? [scratch.gif] How are they going to pour it?

2012 Tercero, Cuvee Loco, Larner Vineyard

Pobegaed a bottle that arrived today. No travel shock.

Tart. Rustic. Smooth mouthfeel. Pepper, cranberry.

2009 Kosta-Browne, Kanzler Vineyard

It’s one of my favorite shops here in Chicago. Ordered online for pickup, but have never had anything shipped.

2017 Rose' is still great

viewtopic.php?p=2666334#p2666334

2017 Tercero Rose’

My last one. Got to make room for the 2018’s.
Excellent balance of tart watermelon and strawberry. Nice acidity. Light salmon color.

Drank this all summer. Take advantage of the extended offer.

I may be comparing apples to oranges, but in terms of experiences, how do the Easter Islands compare to the Galapagos and Machu Picchu?

I see it less as a trick, and more of a choice/decision.
