It's The Weekend...What Is Everyone Drinking????

Kriss_Reed · June 19, 2009, 6:32pm

Be there, too. Wines undecided. Going tonight to the opener with a French Malbec rosé and a Friulano Blaufrankisch, among others.

“A white wines of the world tasting is on tap for tomorrow”

Josh, the world only contains California and France? I missed that day in geography (but then I dropped out of school in the 9th grade…)

Dick_Krueger · June 19, 2009, 7:10pm

At Susan’s late this afternoon:

Tarequet Côtes de Gascogne White
Istas Mendi Txakoli (Basque White)
A to Z Sangiovese Rosé (Oregon)
Cartlidge & Brown Pinot Noir (Monterey)
André Brunel Grenache Vaucluse
Mas de Guiot Vin de Pays de Gard

Then with dinner at home, probably a younger Zinfandel.

The rest of the weekend, who knows?

Bill_Tex_Landreth · June 19, 2009, 7:11pm

Better hold off on that Lafite as I hear it isn’t drinking very well yet.

Dennis_Atick · June 19, 2009, 7:12pm

It’s 97 degrees here in the ATL.
And humid.
Brutal.
I’m going for the 2008 Grey Stack Sauv Blanc tonight.
Either that or a few margaritas.

Bill_Tex_Landreth · June 19, 2009, 7:15pm

I just scored some 750mL bottles of Belgian Ale for $8 each at Costco. Tonight will be Duvel, St. Bernardus, Maresdous and Chimay Blue.

Bill, I used to have a fantastic wine cartoon that showed two guys tasting the SAME wine at a shop’s tasting bar. Each had a balloon over their heads with their comments:

Jesus CHRIST! This shit smells like ASS!

and

Oh…my GAWD! This wine smells like…Aaaaaaaaaasssssssss!

Bill_Tex_Landreth · June 19, 2009, 8:01pm

That was for HIS Burgs and CdP’s.

NickWittman · June 19, 2009, 8:04pm

Tonight, about 20 California Cabernets from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s! Looking forward to it . . .

Josh_Beck · June 19, 2009, 8:07pm

Hey Brian,

Please post notes, I’m curious about the Delagrange and the Bachey-Legros, I may end up tasting that Bachey-Legros this weekend as well. I don’t expect a barnburner but it’s not exactly an expensive wine either and I hope it will be nice.

Josh

Joshua_Roberts · June 19, 2009, 8:07pm

The Margan is Aussie. We have a New Zealand SB (Kim Crawford), an Aussie Rhone blend (D’Arenberg), a German Riesling (Donnhoff), a Finger Lakes Riesling (Herman Wiemer), a white Madeira and possibly a Romanian sweet wine on tap. I just listed some notables highlights.

So there!

Josh_Beck · June 19, 2009, 8:10pm

I’m no fan of

But I usually end up with bottles of

Bill_Tex_Landreth · June 19, 2009, 8:27pm

I think Josh is doin’ it wrong.

I got nothing against your wine Bill, just inspired by Chris and running with it, doing mundane shit at work all day long.
