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...

seems pretty demeaning to midwesterners.

And to the digerati

France

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

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.

And how is travel shock different than decanting (minus the air exposure)? What's more motion shocking than a bottle of wine being dumped into a decanter? Or swirled around? Or someone sticking their thumb into a bottle and shaking it?

Have you tried the new Hendricks in a Negroni? Not yet, but if I must... [wink.gif] For research purposes, of course: The Orbium works very well, in my opinion. If you like the sweet bitterness of Campari, this accentuates it in a nice way. If you don’t - stay away. It doesn’t get lost in cocktails...

Have you tried the new Hendricks in a Negroni?

Got my order in. Love the Sangiacomo, Gap's, and Home Ranch.

Holy crap.

Rich K0rz€nk0 is definitely going to be the BerserkerDay 10 VIP/MVP the way this has panned out. Wow.

Holy Crap was exactly what I was thinking.

I was out all day yesterday and couldn’t get online. Targeting today: Nola’s olive oil, Tercero rose, and a free bottle of Sojourn.

I’m trying to plan a vacation later this year on American. Are you really sure you want to get rid of these? I am Platinum for Life on American.

Some names here brought back some memories. I have an Outlook folder of all my wine purchases. That was a trip down memory lane.

Who won the right to stay at your place in Spain last year? I never heard about their experience or saw pictures. That was an intriguing (and quite generous) offer.

Always liked AP Vin wines. Binny’s used to carry a bunch of them.

Best wishes to Andrew.

I've been meaning to try your pinot. Now I will!

The winter Pinots are my favorites.

I’m bad about forgetting to consume bottles I’ve taken to restaurants or friends. At home, I put the empty bottle on the counter as a reminder to remove from CT.

And I was going to make my yearly request for legislation requiring all wineries to send their offers on the same day. That way I have everything in front of me at once, and I can decide what I really want and what I can skip. That way I don’t over buy.

Saw some ugly vineyards in Turkey.

Popped a bottle of Trimbach’s cheaper yellow label Gewurztraminer. 2015.
It’s sweeter than I remember. Softer mouthfeel. Perfume on nose and palate. Lots of floral aromas. Some honey and pear. Golden color.

I would have thought it would gush out

We go through Trimbach Pinot Gris like water

There was an old-line Italian winery in Napa (the name eludes me now) that sold a moscato that was not very stable. The sold it refrigerated only and told visitors not to leave it in a hot car. Anyone remember that? Maybe Louis Martini? I worked in a wine shop back when I was going to college and a...

What happens when it gets to the store? Or to my home? Has to stay below 57?

Order placed

Does RM still make a Pinot from Kanzler?

A Macedonian Rose that I purchased at a wine dinner from the restaurant. Rated 84.

Another place I'm surprised is not in our list, is Sun Wah BBQ, Chinese restaurant. Another Michelin guide place. Popular with foodies and wine geeks. Known for their Peking Duck. HUGE menu. Went with two other couples. Ordered ONE order of the Peking Duck, and it is a HUGE serving. First they bring...

We went to Old Town Folk School the other night to see Isabella Rossellini. Up the street, and across is Luella's Southern Kitchen. It's southern/creole, and it's BYOB. Simple place, but great food, and relatively cheap. It made the Michelin Guide. They have some simple, stemless wine glasses and a ...

My perennial favorites:

Pinots: Gap's and Sangiacomo
Cabs: Home Ranch and Georges III (although pricey)

I need to open one of my cellared bottles. Passed a couple of times. Also once again redistributing dollars.

I drank 24 of them last month. Not sure I care to repeat this.

Vacationed in Portugal a few years ago. In Lisbon we stayed using points at a Marriott property with access to the club floor. This one had free alcohol. They actually had some decent wines available. But there it was, sitting proudly in the middle. Had forgotten that it was a Portugese wine. We bot...

I guess you know the joke, but this wine was extremely fresh and typical for Savennieres. No oxidation at all There''s obviously something I do not understand. If the wines was fresh what does "dead st retail" mean? It's a running gag from a silly Burgundy thread started by Alan Eden a week or two ...

2009 Kutch Pinot, Falstaff Vineyard

Had some bad luck with 09’s. Trying to drink them all. First taste was scary. Big swirling, opened up. Turned into a terrific wine.
