A big, bloody thank you to Mark Franks for this idea. Tomorrow is the premiere of Season 2 of True Blood on HBO. If you’re watching, pop something for the occasion and post notes here. There’s only one requirement:

It has to be RED.

Anybody have any of this:

Or

I’m pretty vanilla (although not in the oaky sense) so I plan to stick to a nice, traditional CdP

I’ll pull out one of my Beckmen reds - they usually have a good blood color to them, plus, Dietz thinks I bleed Beckmen anyway.

‘Sadly’ we’ll be in Albuquerque tomorrow afternoon drinking 12 Meursaults from over a decade’s worth of vintages. So we probably won’t be in the mood for more when we get home.

Dragon’s Blood:

Blood of Judas!

Bill_Tex_Landreth · June 13, 2009, 8:18pm

I’m too hung over to even contemplate wine tonight…

John_Cabot · June 13, 2009, 8:24pm

Hockey and Flannery beef really went to your head, eh?

Bill_Tex_Landreth · June 13, 2009, 8:45pm

As did…

1992 Togni
1982 Talbot
1995 Cos
2003 Cos
2003 Pape Clement
2005 Fleur Cardinale
1996 Grange

Glenn_L_e_v_i_n_e · June 13, 2009, 8:48pm

how was the 92 Togni? ready already?

Bill_Tex_Landreth · June 13, 2009, 8:57pm

Still a baby. Would never have guessed 17 years old and Napa Cab.

Mark_F_r_a_n_k_s · June 13, 2009, 9:39pm

I think I’ll open a Sleight of Hand “Archimage”

Glenn_L_e_v_i_n_e · June 13, 2009, 9:48pm

PT makes wine built for the long haul. i love 1992 for aging and figured that should be about entering the sweet spot. will go 25 i bet.

ToddFrench · June 13, 2009, 9:50pm

I’ve got a '95 that I wonder if it will ever be opened, as long as these seem to go!

M_M_c_C_a_l_l · June 14, 2009, 1:58am

I goofed and how. The '04 Jamet we’re drinking tonight would have been the perfect wine for tomorrow night. I didn’t decant it, but the bottle’s been open for a couple of hours. Each tiny pour, straight from the bottle, smells like quivering, bloody meat.

M_Dildine · June 14, 2009, 2:33am

Red? I think I have some of those stashed somewhere.

Linda_Baehr · June 14, 2009, 6:33am

I think I’ll drink this

Hello Kitty is appropriate, isn’t it?

Maybe because thinking there is a Hello Kitty wine makes me want to slit my wrists?

M_M_c_C_a_l_l · June 14, 2009, 10:43am

Oh Linda, that would have been so much more appropriate for season 1, when Sookie found her mutilated kitty cat impaled on a ceiling fan.

mike_pobega · June 14, 2009, 2:01pm

Last night I had a 2003 KL Dr Crane, 2002 Gemstone, 203 Gemstone Facets, 2001 Dunn Howell, as well as some others I did not note on. If I get a chance I will post notes on the above. The KL rocked, as did the 2002 Gemstone.
