Coffee this a.m… sipping green tea at present… then onto to dinner with GG with a bottle of '06 Domaine Digioia-Royer Chambolle-Musigny “Les Fremieres”.
Some Kona earlier, (coffee, not…) and am now pacing myself with my favorite sippper, a blend of diet Code Red mountain dew mixed with 50% pomegranite/blueberry juice. Anyone in Santa Barbara downtown late this afternoon wanna grab a beer?
I’m thinking of opening Cameron Hughes Lot 116, 143, 149, or 164. I bought a 6-pack of each based on the raves for his 07’s in this board, so seems like a good way to celebrate Berserkerday. Anyone have any suggestions on which of these is more drinkable at this point?
I think we are having spicy chicken dish and guests (as much as family can be quests ) tonight so I have an 88 Trimbach Gewurz Ribeaupierre waiting, a 1/2 of 06 Clos Jebsal PG from Z-H and then we will toss something red.
Caffeine is more of a problem for me than alcohol. I got addicted to cafe e biscotti for breakfast when I was two. Alcohol doesn’t call my name, caffeine does.
I might as well contribute something to this board other than lurk.
Attending a wine tasting tonight of Dave Phinney wines; wasn’t planned as a anniversary thing, but will go with that!
Orin Swift Veladora Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Soda Canyon Barrel Chaser Napa Red Wine
Soda Canyon Napa Cabernet Sauvignon
Beau Vigne Juliet Cabernet Sauvignon
Orin Swift The Prisoner
Orin Swift Papillon Bordeaux Blend
Do not know the vintages but assume they are the current releases. Whatever that might be in Ohio. More interested in the non Orin Swift wines as I have had the Prisoner, Papillon on numerous occasions. If I don’t socialize too much I will try to take notes, but I am sure I would get many odd looks from the other “drinkers” attending.
